DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS

The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) seeks to engage an experienced contractor to supply, install, and commission the elevators in accordance with the attached documents.

The four elevators currently installed in the UNCC Building have been in service for more than twenty-nine (29) years, having been commissioned in 1997. Over time, several spare parts have become unavailable on the market, and critical components, such as the control systems, have aged and are increasingly difficult to maintain. In addition, some components have been phased out and replaced by newer technologies.

In addition to the shortage of spare parts, the existing elevators lack several essential safety and accessibility features, including facilities for people with disabilities, an Automatic Rescue Device (ARD), and Fireman's Operation.

The absence of these critical features, combined with the aging equipment and the unavailability of spare parts, underscores the urgent need to upgrade the existing elevator systems.
