Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset leads this joint procurement for office removals and relocation services for Avon and Somerset Police, Dorset Police, Gloucestershire Police and Wiltshire Police. The work covers moving office contents, transport using vans with drivers, and storage and retrieval. It is divided geographically across the four police forces, giving suppliers the option to focus on a local area or serve several forces. Delivery is across Avon and Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. The service supports police office moves and relocations; the procurement description does not set out particular move volumes or individual sites.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to AGM Bishops Limited covering all four areas. The award was made on 10 December 2025, and the contract was signed on 30 January 2026. The contract runs from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2029, with an option to extend for up to 12 months, to 31 January 2030. The published monetary amount is £0, while the contract is indicated as above the relevant threshold, so the amount does not provide a meaningful indication of scale. The procurement used an open procedure. Each lot was assessed on scenario pricing (50%), responses to technical questions (40%) and social value (10%). Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete; nine bids were recorded for each lot.

This award shows a four-force requirement for a supplier able to provide office relocation, transport and storage services across Avon and Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that it can plan and deliver office moves across its chosen geographic area, provide vans with drivers, and manage storage and retrieval as part of the service. The buyer assessed both price and technical responses, so operational capability and a clear, competitive approach to scenario-based pricing would matter. Social value also formed part of the assessment. The four geographically separate lots allowed small and medium-sized businesses to compete, and the recorded bids show that SMEs participated in the competition. The award provides evidence of demand for this combined service from police organisations.
