I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1. There is no planned procurement for purchasing of lifts for this financial year. In the event that was required, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) would procure this via it’s Procontract platform and request tenders via that forum.

2. There are no planned building refurbishments resulting in a new lift being required. As a result of a building refurbishment, there may be improvements to all facilities, including lifts, but this would be included within the refurb project and would follow the LCC Procurement regulations.

3. LCC do not provide social housing, this is provided by the District Councils.
