In plain English

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service needs a qualified contractor to inspect, test and certify all their lifts and plant equipment across their buildings to meet health and safety laws. You'll need to spot defects, prioritise repairs, provide documentation, and cause minimal disruption to court operations.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out statutory inspections and testing of lifts and all plant equipment under LOLER, PUWER and Health and Safety at Work Act regulations • Identify defects, provide prioritised recommendations for repairs, and supply all compliance certificates and documentation • Work must be done by a competent, qualified person with minimal disruption to the courts estate

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: Most small businesses will lack the specialist lift and plant engineering qualifications required. You must hold formal LOLER/PUWER certifications and be registered as a competent lift engineer, which typically requires years of training and accreditation. This is not work you can learn on the job.
