Vertical transportation consultant for lift upgrade programme

University of Canterbury will kick off a multi‐year lift upgrade programme in April 2024. The University of Canterbury has 71 operational lifts of different kinds in 40 buildings across the campus.
Lifts can be essential for providing vertical circulation, particularly in tall buildings, for wheelchair and other non‐ambulant building users and for the vertical transportation of goods. Some lifts may also be used for firefighting and evacuation purposes. With the establishment of the campus in the 1970, some of the early lifts are due to an upgrade for motors, drives and controllers.

We are seeking an independent consultancy with the vertical transportation capabilities (lifts) to deliver assessment, scoping, installation and subsequent support and engineering services. We are not looking for project managers, engineer rep services or contractors.
