About

Southern Housing is seeking contractors to deliver lift modernisation works across four Lots from 2026 to 2036, procuring up to four contractors with contracts awarded per Lot on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender. Bidders must be able to liaise with residents and provide resident support during works, including temporary access solutions such as stairlifts where feasible and there is an identified need, and must accept legal responsibility as Principal Designer and Principal Contractor under CDM and under Building Safety Act requirements. Bidders may tender for multiple Lots but will only be awarded one Lot; each Lot will be scored and evaluated individually. Contracts are for an initial term of five years with an option to extend up to a further five years at prescribed intervals. The Client’s strategic objectives emphasise high-quality customer experience, increased resident satisfaction, efficient and standardised delivery, safe and compliant operation, improved cost transparency and performance mechanisms, access to emerging technologies such as remote monitoring, social value delivery and continued health and safety excellence. The Client has set indicative KPIs for the procurement including lift availability, completions, defects at witness testing and health and safety file submission.
