Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Porterage, Removals and Storage Services" is being conducted by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons. It belongs to the services category under the CPV classification of storage and warehousing services and is centred around the Parliamentary Estate, serving Westminster, London (UKI32). The procurement has reached the contract update stage, with the most recent modification occurring on 27th July 2026. The original contract, awarded to Crown Workspace, is worth £21,315,328 and has been extended twice from its initial term ending in June 2025, now to end in June 2027. Remedies during this procurement process have been put in place through the High Court of England and Wales should any disputes arise.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in porterage and storage services, particularly those that can handle sensitive items requiring pest treatment and specialised handling. Companies that are well-versed in dealing with heritage items and those maintaining flexible logistic solutions will find this contract extension appealing. Small and medium enterprises with a focus on warehousing and retrieval services, adept at providing seamless service continuity under extensions or modifications, are especially well-positioned to compete for future contracts stemming from this opportunity.
