19 129 Contract for the Provision of Servicing and Maintenance of Lifts and Hoists

Description

Lifts and hoists provide an aid to independent living for individuals who have mobility related issues. As such, they support people to be more independent and to be cared for in their own home, thus also reducing the need for a more complex care and support package. This also benefits carers by making it easier for them to provide care to the individual. Lifts and hoists are supplied to Cheshire East residents by a number of separate contracts, in response to successful Disabled Facilities Grant applications. This service will maintain the lift and hoist equipment once it is outside of its warranty period, to ensure that it continues to be safe. Lot 1: The service will provide maintenance of lifts and hoists supplied via a Disabled Facilities Grant (once the equipment is out of warranty) to ensure adults with this equipment continue to remain independent/receive appropriate care. This includes stair lifts, vertical lifts, steps lifts, platform lifts and ceiling track hoists, Battery Hoist, Manual Turntable, Powered Turntable, Straight track, Curved Track. In addition to this, the service will remove such equipment when it is no longer required and decontaminate it, recondition and store it. In limited cases, the service will also reinstall such equipment at an alternative resident’s home when requested by the Council. The service will be delivered to all individuals resident within Cheshire East
