UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London has completed their tender process for the transfer and storage of 2,718 linear metres of archives to Deepstore located in Crewe. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically archive services, and was conducted through a limited competition procurement method due to it being below the threshold. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award with the contract's active period running from 13 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 2 April 2026, with a gross contract value of £115,208.77 GBP. The buyer operates under the public authority - sub-central government classification and is located in the City of London.

This tender offers businesses specialising in archive services, particularly those experienced in large-scale storage and transfer operations, an opportunity to expand their portfolio and client base by collaborating with a prominent public authority. Given the project's size and requirements, well-established companies with substantial infrastructure for archive management and storage would be ideally suited to compete in similar future opportunities. Such projects allow businesses to showcase their ability to efficiently manage and preserve significant quantities of archival materials, potentially establishing long-term relationships with government authorities.
