Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council is managing a procurement process for the provision of Storage and Removal Services within the UKC23 region, specifically in Sunderland, UK. This tender falls under the services industry category and involves a closed procurement process under a framework agreement without reopening competition. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, having been executed under a legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The awarded contract, valued at £80,000 net, comes into effect on 6th October 2025, with completion slated for 5th October 2027. Potential renewals may extend the contract by two additional 12-month periods at the discretion of the Council.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in the storage and removal services sector to expand their business offerings and establish a foothold in public sector operations. The business awarded is JI, P & MS Ellen, trading as LOW FELL REMOVALS. Companies with expertise in storage services, particularly those based in Sunderland or capable of serving the UKC23 region, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The structured yet limited competition approach suggests that maintaining a robust relationship with local councils can be advantageous for organisations looking to enter or reinforce their presence in the local government supply chain.
