Southend-on-Sea City Council is seeking suitably qualified organisations to establish an Open framework agreement for the supply, installation of stairlifts and specialist lifts for disabled and older residents living in Council, housing association and privately owned properties. The framework will support the Council's statutory adaptations service and delivery of Disabled Facilities Grants and Housing Revenue Account. Services will include surveys, installation, testing, servicing with either a 12month, 5 year or 10 year agreement from installation. The framework will enable residents to remain living safely and independently in their own homes, reduce reliance on residential care and hospital services, and ensure the Council continues to meet statutory duties efficiently and effectively. It is anticipated that the tender notice will be published by the end of November 2026.
