Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council sought a contractor to remove, store and dispose of office furniture and other equipment from buildings it owns or has an interest in. These include administrative buildings, libraries, leisure centres and schools within the Council’s administrative area. The work is a scheduled-rates service covering the handling of furniture and equipment across this varied public estate. Delivery is within the Wirral Council area. Suppliers would need to provide the removal, storage and disposal service for Council premises rather than supply furniture or equipment.

Wirral Council invited offers through an open procedure, and the process reached tender. The single-lot contract was scheduled to run from 8 December 2025 to 7 December 2027, with the option of two further years in annual increments, up to 7 December 2029. The estimated value was £320,000 excluding VAT (£384,000 including VAT). The deadline for enquiries was 31 October 2025 at 12:00 UTC; bids were due by 7 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. The lot was marked complete and its award cancelled on 30 September 2026.

This opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It would suit a contractor able to organise removals, secure storage and responsible disposal of office furniture and other equipment across varied public buildings, including schools, libraries and leisure centres. The scheduled-rates arrangement calls for delivery across the Council’s estate and would favour suppliers able to handle changing work requirements at multiple premises. The evaluation gave half the available weighting to price, with the remainder split between quality and social value, so bidders needed to offer competitive rates alongside a credible service and social-value approach. The tender’s selection criteria covered economic and technical capacity; suppliers needed to consult the tender documents for the detailed requirements. The award was subsequently cancelled.
