OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for "Domestic and International Relocation Services" under an open procedure focusing on services. This contract includes relocating personnel within the Scottish mainland, the Scottish Islands, throughout the UK, and abroad, with repatriation options. The procurement process, identified by ocid "ocds-r6ebe6-0000789224," reached the award stage on 7th August 2025, following a tender stage that ended on 7th April 2025. The contract, valued at £920,000, was signed with Santa Fe Relocation on 23rd July 2025. The procurement is covered under the GPA and abides by the legal basis CELEX 32014L0024.

This contractual opportunity presents significant potential for growth for businesses involved in relocation services, particularly those experienced in handling personnel transfers across complex geographies. Companies with strong logistics capabilities and membership with the European Relocation Association (EuRA) would be particularly suited, given the specific membership criteria stipulated. The emphasis on quality, alongside price, with a 60% quality scoring in contract award criteria, suggests that bidders with robust understanding and execution of relocation logistics would be prioritised. This could be an attractive opportunity for large relocation service providers looking to expand their portfolio in governmental contracts. Additionally, community benefits are also part of the criteria, providing a chance for businesses to contribute to societal enhancements while fulfilling contract requirements.
