The City has is planning to contract out the maintenance of the Ben Jonson House lifts.
The letter sent by the City is here.
The contract for maintaining the lifts will be for 5 years, with an option for another 5 years. Presumably the option is the City's, not residents.
The City tells us that residents were given notice of the tendering process on 23rd March 2012. The 'consultation period' ended on the (City imposed) deadline of 23rd Apr 2012 and they received no feedback. In the initial letter to residents we were told that the option to extend was for only 2 years, but officers later decided to extend that to 5 years (i.e. up to 10 years in total).
The City want to go for the lowest bidder. This will cost Ben Jonson House residents collectively £10,450.89 per year, which translates to between £40.76pa for an F2C flat up to £75.25pa for an M4A flat.
