Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is leading a procurement process to establish a multi-lot Framework Agreement for lift and stairlift services, including maintenance and installation, across the city. The tender, titled "Lift Maintenance and Installation Framework Agreement," falls under the services category and is divided into four lots: East and West Edinburgh maintenance, citywide lift installation, and citywide stairlift installation and maintenance, ensuring comprehensive coverage for their diverse property portfolio. The process is currently at the tender stage, with an updated submission deadline of 28 May 2026 due to recent amendments. This open procurement method aims to appoint multiple contractors, offering a flexible and resilient approach to service delivery in accordance with CELEX Directive 32014L0024. The procurement process will adhere to an open procedure, allowing submissions until the specified deadline.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in lift maintenance and installation services, particularly those with the capability to manage a large, geographically varied contract. The framework's design to include multiple contractors serves to increase competitive equality and allows for a broad participation scope. Suitable entities would include SMEs, social enterprises, and larger firms that can demonstrate financial stability and technical proficiency, particularly those aligned with the Council's sustainable procurement goals. The substantial contract value of £12 million GBP enhances potential economic gains, with an emphasis on technical quality and competitive pricing. Compliance with standards like ISO14001 and engagement with community benefits further align participating businesses with incentives for sustainable growth and social contributions.
