Suppliers named for £80m Lifts Framework

Procurement organisation and social enterprise, Fusion21, has announced the suppliers who have been appointed to its national Lifts Framework worth up to £80 million over four years.

A total of 37 specialist firms – 76 per cent being SMEs, have secured a place on the framework which is now in its fourth generation and has been designed to deliver lift-related works and services to estates across the public sector, including housing, education, and healthcare providers.

Offering geographical coverage across the UK down to a regional and local level, the framework supports the design, installation, servicing, testing, and refurbishment works of passenger and goods lifts, stair lifts and lift consultancy services.

Peter Francis, Group Executive Director (Operations) at Fusion21, said: “This framework renewal will support our members to manage and maintain both passenger and goods lifts compliantly, while also catering for the renewal and refurbishment of aging units and the service and installation of domestic lifts.

“In addition to working with a team of technical procurement experts and a rigorously assessed and approved supply chain, Fusion21 members accessing this offer will benefit from a compliant and efficient route to market, flexible call-off options, and greater cost efficiencies.

“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.”
