It is a framework worth up to £12,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

It is split into 4 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

What the notice says

The City of Edinburgh Council (the “Council”) manages a large and diverse property portfolio across the city, including a significant number of high-rise residential buildings and other operational assets. Lift and stairlift systems form a critical part of this infrastructure, enabling safe, reliable, and inclusive access for residents, many of whom rely on these systems for day-to-day mobility. To support the ongoing operation, maintenance, and improvement of this infrastructure, the Council intends to establish a multi-Lot Framework Agreement for lift and stairlift services. The Framework Agreement will reflect the Council’s operational requirements and geographical spread and will comprise the following Lots: Lot 1 – Lift Service and Maintenance (East) Lot 2 – Lift Service and Maintenance (West) Lot 3 – Lift Installation (Citywide) Lot 4 – Stairlift Installation and Maintenance (Citywide) Multiple Contractors will be appointed to the Framework Agreement to ensure resilience, capacity, and flexibility in service delivery.
