Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council is seeking suppliers for a framework covering domestic and commercial removals and storage. Work includes moving household and business contents and providing storage, with separate lots for domestic properties and commercial properties. Services are for requirements across Perth and Kinross. Suppliers can apply for the types of moves they have the capacity and capability to handle; they do not need to cover every service type. The framework is intended to provide removal and storage capacity for the Council’s call-off requirements, including peaks in demand. Community benefits are included in the requirement.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement, with a maximum of eight suppliers. The tender deadline was extended to 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; tender opening was set for the same time. The stated contract period is 1,440 days, with no renewal. Each lot has an estimated maximum value of £480,000; these figures are not forecasts of the work likely to be awarded. Evaluation is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality. The tender requires two examples of similar services delivered within the previous three years. Bidders must provide current ratio and net assets figures for the last two financial years, and demonstrate that required insurance cover is held or can be obtained before the contract starts.

The opportunity can suit both larger removal and storage operators and smaller firms specialising in particular move types, including small-load moves; bidders can identify the services they can deliver, and capacity is assessed when individual jobs are called off. Relevant experience in domestic or commercial removals and storage is important, with two comparable service examples required. Suppliers need suitable employer’s liability, public liability, goods-in-transit and goods-in-storage insurance, and must meet the stated financial tests or provide supporting evidence explaining any shortfall. Quality, health and safety, and environmental management systems are required: accepted routes include recognised certifications or documented policies and procedures. The tender also asks bidders to state whether they intend to subcontract and the proportion involved.
