Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has completed a procurement process for the "COV - Removals and Storage (2025)" framework, appointing three suppliers to provide household and office removal and storage services. The procurement falls under the services category and covers the region of Coventry, United Kingdom (UKG33). The process followed an open procedure, and the framework agreement, which is closed in nature, will last from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2029, with an option to extend for an additional two years. Significant dates included the tender notice published in August 2025, with the contract award notice following in October 2025 and the date of signing on 26th November 2025.

This tender offers ample opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as KWIKSHIFT EUROPEAN TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS LTD, BURKE BROS WOLVERHAMPTON LIMITED, and CROWN WORKSPACE LIMITED, all of which successfully secured positions on the framework. Given the nature of the services required—encompassing both storage and relocation—it is an attractive opportunity for SMEs in the transport and logistics sector, which can offer competitive prices and flexible service solutions. The structure of the framework allows for direct awards and further competition, enabling businesses to participate in a dynamic and potentially profitable arrangement with the local government.

Notice Title

COV - Removals and Storage (2025)

Notice Description

The Council has established a framework and has appointed 3 suppliers to provide a household and office removal service, including storage as required. The UK4 Tender Notice and UK6 Contract Award Notice incorrectly stated that the commercial tool being established was an 'Open Framework'. For the avoidance of doubt, the commercial tool being established as a result of this contract is a FRAMEWORK and not an Open Framework.
