Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) has completed a contract award process for removal services across Scotland and Northern England. The procurement process utilised a restricted procedure under the selective procurement method, specifically targeting the services category. The procurement was conducted from the headquarters in Edinburgh and facilitated electronic submission methods. The contract was signed on 23rd June 2025 for a duration with renewals, covering a period of significant activity, especially during political cycles. The awarded contract, worth £106,000, has gone to Kwikshift European Transportation and Logistics Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Birkenhead.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics and removals, particularly those with experience in handling office relocations for large organisations and government bodies. Companies with a strong financial standing, verified by a Creditsafe Risk Score of 40 or higher, and those able to secure Cyber Essentials certification are well-positioned to benefit. Firms that can manage the logistical demands of varying delivery locations and timelines, showcasing resilience and sustainability in their supply chain, stand to gain significantly in expanding their client base with government contracts.
