## Summary

London & Quadrant Housing Trust is planning a services contract for inspection, servicing, maintenance, repair and associated works for lifting equipment across its property portfolio in London. The scope covers domestic mobility and accessibility equipment, including slings, bathing equipment, electric beds, hoists, platform lifts, stairlifts and through-floor lifts, as well as passenger lifts in communal residential buildings. Passenger-lift assets include geared and gearless traction lifts, hydraulic lifts, machine-room-less lifts, firefighting lifts and goods-passenger lifts. The service must reflect the different technical, operational and risk characteristics of equipment used by individual residents, including vulnerable people, and lifts serving communal areas and the wider public. The main category is lift maintenance and repair services, including installation-related works.

This procurement is at the planning stage: London & Quadrant Housing Trust has announced its intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender yet. The planned approach is a single tender exercise with multiple lots, currently shown as one planned lot, with the intention of appointing one contractor per lot. The estimated contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2030, with renewal provision extending the maximum period to 31 May 2034. The estimated value is £9,547,182.40 excluding VAT, or £11,933,978 including VAT. The buyer expects the next notice on 28 September 2026. Preliminary market engagement is intended to shape the lot structure, scope, contractual and performance frameworks, and evaluation method; responses are expected by 3 September 2026 and will not form part of tender evaluation.

The future procurement is likely to suit specialist lift and accessibility-equipment contractors with the capability and capacity to service, maintain and repair mixed domestic and passenger-lift estates at scale. Relevant experience may include bathing equipment, hoists, electric beds, platform lifts, stairlifts, through-floor lifts and other domestic mobility equipment, alongside traction, hydraulic, machine-room-less, firefighting and goods-passenger lifts. Suppliers should be prepared to manage assets of different ages, manufacturers, technical complexity and usage intensity. Strong arrangements for responsive maintenance, safe operation, compliance, service resilience and continuity will be important, particularly for vulnerable residents and high-traffic communal environments. The buyer is testing a lot-based model, and the planned lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
