Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council conducted a procurement process titled "Peebles High School and Galashiels Academy Full Schools Decant" focused on relocation services, classified under CPV code 98392000. The goal was to engage a single contractor for comprehensive school decant and ethical disposal services at the two mentioned institutions located in the UK region designated as UKM91. The procurement, which utilised an open procedure, has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 9th September 2025. The open tender process, initiated in June 2025, specified a tender period end date by 31st July 2025. The process incorporated a standstill period as per the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to allow for any appeals.

This tender represents an advantageous opportunity for businesses specialising in relocation and disposal services, especially those positioned as small to medium enterprises (SMEs), which accounted for six out of the eight bids. Companies like Clockwork Removals, the awarded supplier, demonstrate the type of business suited to effectively compete, given their capabilities in managing complex logistical operations. Such contracts could be particularly valuable for businesses aiming to expand their public sector portfolio, offering potential positive financial growth through projects of significant scale and duration. With contract duration spanning approximately three months, similar agencies can utilise this time to showcase their quality and efficiency, leading to further opportunities in the regional authority sector.
