Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership procured removal and relocation services for its planned delivery team. The work supports decants required during refurbishment projects, moving customers and their belongings either temporarily or permanently so that refurbishment activity can take place. The service category is relocation services (CPV 98392000). Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is The Guinness Partnership, a public undertaking based in London. The requirement covers a single completed service lot and is relevant to removal companies, relocation specialists and providers able to organise moves for housing residents while refurbishment programmes are delivered. Suppliers would need to manage customer moves and associated removals in a way that supports both short-term decants and permanent relocations.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Guinness Partnership used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Traco UK Ltd was awarded the single lot for an active contract. The contract was signed on 18 May 2026 and runs from 18 May 2026 to 17 May 2027. Its value is £165,000 excluding VAT and £198,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The awarded service covers UK-wide relocation and removal activity for decants linked to refurbishment work. The contract is below threshold and the selected supplier is Traco UK Ltd.

This award demonstrates a housing provider’s demand for organised removal services to support refurbishment-led resident decants. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established removal or relocation businesses able to move customers and household contents safely across the United Kingdom. Credibility would depend on handling both temporary and permanent moves, coordinating with planned refurbishment programmes, and supporting residents through changes to their accommodation. Relevant experience would include residential removals, decant logistics, scheduling multiple moves and maintaining reliable service during building works. The requirement also indicates that a supplier can win a below-threshold public-sector contract through a direct-award route, so businesses should understand how to present their capability and service fit to housing providers operating similar programmes.
