Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned move management services supporting activity in Croydon, Watford and London. The requirement covers the organisation and coordination of property-related moves across these locations, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It sits within the services category and is classified under CPV 70330000, covering property management services for real estate provided on a fee or contract basis. The buyer is a central government department based in London. The work is relevant to move-management companies, property services providers and firms that coordinate relocations, transfers or changes of occupation across multiple public-sector sites. Its geographic scope spans locations in Greater London and Hertfordshire.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one completed lot. AGM BISHOPS LIMITED, an SME based in Potters Bar, was selected as the supplier and holds an active award. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026, runs from 17 August 2026 to 30 November 2026, and has a value of £22,152 excluding VAT, or £26,582.40 including VAT. The contract itself is active. The stated procurement method was limited, with competition restricted to invited suppliers below the applicable threshold. The published outcome therefore confirms both the selected provider and the short delivery period for this move-management requirement.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the outcome demonstrates that the Department for Education buys discrete, location-specific move-management support through a limited below-threshold competition. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in coordinating property moves, managing the operational detail of relocations or changes of occupation, and delivering reliably across Croydon, Watford and London. The requirement suits providers able to mobilise for a focused assignment, manage activity across more than one site, and work within public-sector purchasing arrangements. Firms building a track record in government property and move services can use this award as evidence of the buyer’s demand for specialist coordination rather than general construction or standalone goods supply.
