London Underground Lift Maintenance Contract

Description

TfL's lifts are critical assets that facilitate the moving of passengers around the network- and as such it is essential that they perform to a high standard, notably around their availability. Whilst around 100 LU lifts are maintained in-house by LU's Direct Labour Organisation, LU is reliant on competent, capable contractors to maintain a large proportion of its lifts. TfL is aiming to procure a single contract to deliver the planned and reactive maintenance of c.112 lifts primarily located on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines. The Supplier will deliver the planned preventative maintenance aligned to TfL's Cat 1 standards and will provide a 24/7 fault response service to address lift failures and entrapments. The Supplier will be required to carryout mid-life interventions of the lifts, as well as facilitating TfL and third party inspections. The contract has a duration of 5 years with an option to extend by up to a maximum of a further 4 years, 9 years maximum. Please note: Suppliers wishing to participate in the procurement process must email Lmc@tfl.gov.uk to gain access. Lot 1: TfL is seeking to appoint a single supplier to deliver the planned and reactive maintenance of a portfolio of c. 112 lift assets across its network. This portfolio may be added to throughout the duration of the contract as lifts are replaced through TfL's separate renewals framework and subsequently added into this maintenance contract. The supplier will deliver the maintenance aligned to TfL's Cat 1 standard and will provide a fault response service to address asset failures and entrapments. This contract will have an initial term of 5 years with extension options up to a maximum of 9 years.
