Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body is initiating a tender for "Removal Services" aimed at providing comprehensive office removal and relocation services for Members of the Scottish Parliament's local offices throughout Scotland, with a particular focus on Edinburgh. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage and is being conducted through a selective procedure, allowing only pre-qualified suppliers to bid. Interested parties must submit their proposals electronically by 16 November 2018. The contract is valued at £180,000 and is anticipated to span several years, with the potential for renewal.

Companies that utilise environmentally friendly practices and hold certifications in quality and safety standards, such as British Standard BS 8522:2009, will be well-positioned to compete. Suppliers capable of offering flexible services, including ad hoc requests and robust security for transported items, will find this procurement particularly suited to their capabilities.
