Contract Summary

TfL's lifts are critical assets that facilitate the moving of passengers around the network- and as such it is essential that they perform to a high standard, notably around their availability. Whilst around 100 LU lifts are maintained in-house by LU's Direct Labour Organisation, LU is reliant on competent, capable contractors to maintain a large proportion of its lifts. TfL is aiming to procure a single contract to deliver the planned and reactive maintenance of c.112 lifts primarily located on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines. The Supplier will deliver the planned preventative maintenance aligned to TfL's Cat 1 standards and will provide a 24/7 fault response service to address lift failures and entrapments. The Supplier will be required to carryout mid-life interventions of the lifts, as well as facilitating TfL and third party inspections. The contract has a duration of 5 years with an option to extend by up to a maximum of a further 4 years, 9 years maximum.
