Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has released a tender for the Provision of Removal & Storage Services, focusing on services for both domestic and non-domestic properties. This procurement process, which is currently in the tender stage, seeks to establish a multi-provider, multi-lot Framework Agreement. The framework is divided into two lots: one for domestic and one for non-domestic accommodation, with contracts running for four years and possible renewal in April 2030. Interested parties must submit their bids by 12:00 BST on 11th June 2026, using the electronic submission method detailed in the tender documents. The procurement for this opportunity follows an open procedure, targeting the service industry category specific to storage services.

This tender represents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in removal and storage services, as it offers a framework agreement that accommodates multiple providers. Companies with capabilities in dismantling, packing, and furniture transfer could greatly benefit, especially if they hold the necessary accreditations like a Waste Carriers License or an SEPA licence. The inclusion of community benefits means SMEs and social enterprises focused on social value and community engagement are particularly well-suited to respond. The coverage of services across the UKM94 region offers a geographical advantage for businesses operating in or nearby Ayr.
