DFG Lifting Equipment

Descriptions

North Yorkshire Council is seeking to establish a Term Service Contract for the survey, supply, installation, inspection, and maintenance of stairlifts and through floor lifts across domestic properties within its geographical boundaries. The contract will initially run for two years, with the option to extend annually up to a maximum of four years. The estimated annual value is £1.5 million, with a total potential value of £6 million over the full term. The scope includes: Installation of new and recycled stairlifts (straight and curved) and through floor lifts. Associated building works, electrical works, and compliance with all relevant regulations (CDM 2015, LOLER, BS standards). Provision of a five-year warranty, servicing, and repairs under warranty, plus a 24/7 call-out service. Removal, storage, refurbishment, and reinstallation of equipment in later years. Secure storage facilities for recycled lifts and parts within 45 miles of Harrogate. Contractors must demonstrate competence, hold appropriate accreditations (e.g., NICEIC, Gas Safe), and ensure operatives have valid DBS checks. Compliance with health and safety, data protection, and safeguarding requirements is mandatory. Performance will be monitored through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), quarterly reporting, and customer satisfaction surveys. Failure to meet standards may result in low service damages.
