Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Office Removals and Relocation Services" is overseen by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire, in collaboration with Dorset, Gloucestershire, and Avon and Somerset Police. The services, categorised under the industry of office relocation, were intended to support the logistics required by these police departments. The procurement method applied was an open procedure, ensuring transparency and broad participation. The full contract is segmented into four lots, each corresponding to the different police entities, with a contract period from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2029, and a potential extension of up to an additional year. The procurement stage has culminated in the award phase, confirmed on 10th December 2025, with significant activities scheduled including the expected signature by 24th December 2025. Notably, the standstill period ends on 22nd December 2025, providing a window for final assessments and preparations.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in service logistics, particularly those specialising in relocation and transport services. It is an excellent chance for large operations seasoned in providing efficient, large-scale office removals across several regions. Companies with capabilities in areas such as van hire with drivers, storage, and retrieval services would be particularly well-suited to compete. The open nature of the procurement favoured competitive bidding, evidenced by the participation of nine bidders including small to medium enterprises (SMEs). Such contracts not only secure sustained business over multiple years but also enhance a company’s profile through association with prominent public sector clients like multiple police jurisdictions. In this instance, AGM Bishops Limited has been awarded the contract, indicating their alignment with the specified requirements for service delivery.
