## Summary

The 'South East Consortium Lifts Framework' is a planned tender process managed by SEC PROCUREMENT LIMITED T/A SOUTH EAST CONSORTIUM, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level. This initiative aims to establish a framework connecting qualified contractors to housing providers for servicing, maintenance, repairs, and installation of passenger lifts. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with key activities including supplier engagement sessions scheduled for 22 September 2026, and formal notices expected by 16 November 2026. The framework covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKJ, UKK, and UKI, with the main procurement category classified as works.

This tender process presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies experienced in lift maintenance services and installation work. The framework accommodates both SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), making it an attractive opportunity for diversified businesses aiming to expand their market presence within the UK's lift service industry. Participation in the market engagement activities allows businesses to contribute to the procurement strategy, providing an understanding of market requirements and enhancing their competitive edge when the framework is officially competed.

## Notice

This framework will be designed to connect our customers to qualified contractors with experience supporting housing providers with servicing, maintenance, repairs and installation of passenger lifts.

### Planning Information

To support the development and continuous improvement of this framework, we have undertaken targeted stakeholder engagement with existing framework suppliers and participating contracting authorities. As part of this process, tailored questionnaires will be issued to those groups on 10 July 2026 to gather stakeholder-specific feedback, market intelligence and opportunities for service improvement. In the interests of transparency and to ensure that all interested organisations have an opportunity to contribute to the engagement process, we are also inviting the wider market to attend one of our Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) sessions.
Supplier Engagement Session:
Potential suppliers and existing providers are invited to attend a supplier engagement session on:
Date: 22 September 2026
Time: 11:00am – 1:00pm
Organisations wishing to attend should register their interest using the following link: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CfcaesU-l0Scrk5176QSn0FFqmmLKphErJqxOpXWQ6ZUQ0lNM0kyNUJBRExOWFdJVVhOUVdXUUE5Wi4u
Please note that attendance is limited to registered participants. Microsoft Teams invitations and joining instructions will be issued to those who register via the relevant form as above. South East Consortium is conducting these activities solely to inform the development of its requirements and procurement strategy. Participation in the questionnaires, PME sessions or any other engagement activity will not provide any organisation with an advantage in any future procurement exercise, nor will non-participation disadvantage any organisation. Any future procurement opportunity will be competed openly and fairly in accordance with the relevant procurement legislation (Procurement Act 2023) and procurement principles.
