Split into a total of five lots, the framework structure is:
- Lot 1 Passenger/ goods lifts — servicing and maintenance
- Lot 2 LOLER thorough examinations
- Lot 3 Passenger/ goods lifts — installation, refurbishment and upgrading
- Lot 4 Domestic lifts — installation and servicing
- Lot 5 Lift consultancy
Peter Francis, Executive Director of Operations at Fusion21 said: “Fusion21 members have an ongoing requirement for vertical transportation equipment which they are legally obliged to maintain. Due to launch in July 2024, the renewal of this framework will enable us to continue offering a framework which support members’ compliance requirements. We welcome bids from organisations, large or small, to provide specialist services for our members.
“Our refreshed offer will provide a compliant, efficient, and quality framework with members able to benefit from greater cost efficiencies, flexible call-off options and geographical coverage across the UK down to a regional and local level.
“As with all of Fusion21’s frameworks, the Lifts Framework will also support members to deliver social value they can see in communities, aligned with their organisational priorities.”
