Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council procured a managed office relocation and furniture recycling service. The scope covers moving office furniture and equipment, disposing of and recycling unwanted furniture, equipment and office waste, and providing temporary storage for furniture and equipment. This is a service contract delivered in Manchester. It combines relocation and transport operations with furniture, equipment and office-waste recycling, so it is relevant to providers able to manage the full process rather than only one activity. The requirement sits within the light-touch regime and is classified as a service. The council is the buying organisation and the work relates to its office estate and associated equipment. Businesses with integrated removal, storage, reuse, recycling and waste-management capability would be aligned with the stated requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Nine bids were received, with seven reaching the final stage, including six from SMEs. Quality carried 40% of the evaluation, price 30%, social value 20% and environmental performance 10%; economic and technical selection requirements applied. The single lot was awarded to JOHN BRADSHAW AND SON LIMITED for £750,000 excluding VAT (£900,000 including VAT), with an award date of 26 June 2026. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 12 August 2030, with an option to extend by 12 months to 12 August 2031. The award-stage period was stated as 9 July 2026 to 8 July 2030, extendable to 8 July 2031.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Manchester City Council for an integrated office-move and furniture-recycling provider, combining operational logistics with storage, disposal, recycling and waste handling. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to coordinate relocations, transport furniture and equipment safely, provide temporary storage, and demonstrate reliable routes for reuse, recycling or compliant disposal. The evaluation shows that service quality is more important than price alone, while social value and environmental performance together form a substantial part of the assessment. Environmental controls, measurable recycling outcomes and responsible waste practices would therefore matter alongside delivery planning and customer service. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, and the final-stage competition included six SME bidders, indicating that the requirement can be approached by an established specialist or a capable integrated service provider.
