UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Brent intends to procure household removal and emergency removal services for Brent Housing Management. The work will support the relocation of approximately 300 South Kilburn secure tenants from existing homes to new and existing properties under the South Kilburn Regeneration Scheme. The supplier will also provide removal and emergency removal services across the London Borough of Brent, with storage of household items required in some cases and advance notification from the council. This is a relocation, removals, storage and transport service, classified under cargo handling and storage, relocation, and road transport services. The service will be delivered across Brent, London, for a sub-central public authority.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Brent has set out an intention to procure and is undertaking preliminary market engagement, rather than inviting tenders. The council expects to hold an online Microsoft Teams engagement event on 14 October 2026 from 10am to 11am; suppliers are expected to register and express interest through the London Tenders Portal by 13 October 2026 at 5pm to receive the invitation. A subsequent notice is expected on 16 October 2026. The planned contract is for one lot, from 7 January 2027 to 6 January 2030, with renewal potentially extending it to 6 January 2031. The estimated value is £700,000 excluding VAT, or £840,000 including VAT.

The future requirement should suit removal and logistics businesses able to manage planned household relocations at substantial scale, as well as urgent or emergency removals across a London borough. Relevant suppliers are likely to need operational capacity for packing, loading, transporting and unloading domestic possessions, with the ability to arrange storage when instructed. Experience of coordinating multiple household moves, working to housing-management requirements and supporting regeneration or decant programmes would be useful preparation. The council has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist removal, storage and transport providers may be well placed to engage. The market engagement is intended to let suppliers meet commissioners and understand the developing service requirements before the procurement reaches the tender stage.
