Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has completed a procurement process for the provision of offsite record storage and management services, with a focus on records management under the CPV classification 79996100. The procurement method was selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement. HSE required storage solutions across England, Scotland, and Wales to manage approximately 120,000 paper records and 1,800 tapes, with the contract running from 2nd February 2026 to 1st March 2033. The tender period concluded on 11th September 2025, and the award was made active on 21st October 2025, with Restore securing the contract valued at £510,709.78.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in services within the records management industry, particularly those capable of handling large volumes of records securely and efficiently. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) interested in expanding their footprint across the United Kingdom. Organisations with expertise in storage management, compliance with legislative retention policies, and effective resource management would find this contract beneficial for sharpening their competitive edge and enhancing their service offerings. Restore, identified as an SME, demonstrates that smaller entities can secure substantial government contracts through selective procurement processes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

THE PROVISION OF OFFSITE RECORD STORAGE & MANAGEMENT

Notice Description

HSE have 120,000 paper records and approximately 1,800 tapes (26,000 CubFt) which it needs to retain in accordance with our Business Classification Scheme and Retention Policy. However, we do not have the appropriate space/resource to manage the volume of records we hold in house; therefore, offsite storage is required for all HSE employees to retain and recall official records to support business needs and ensure HSE complies with legislation. HSE's current contract term will expire shortly and at point we will need a new contract in place and records transferred to the new site, if another supplier secures the contract.
