Lift Modernisation Framework Agreement - Hackney Council

Hackney Council is establishing a framework agreement to appoint up to three experienced lift contractors to modernise its extensive lift stock. The council manages over 600 lifts across its housing portfolio and has identified 39 priority lifts for immediate renewal. This framework aims to reduce maintenance costs, minimise breakdowns, and improve lift service quality for residents. The 39 priority lifts will be split into three Year 1 programmes, with each appointed contractor responsible for 11-15 lifts. Contractors will be selected based on tender scoring, with future work awarded based on performance metrics during the first nine months. The framework may also include ad hoc modernisation work from other council departments such as corporate and education buildings, with potential for mini-competitions. All bidders must be members of a recognised lift industry association (such as LEIA). The framework is anticipated to be worth up to £28 million over its full term, with 18-45 lift projects delivered annually. Contractors must have capacity to deliver a minimum of 13 lift modernisation projects per year.
