With the contract now awarded, this tender reached the 'award' stage on 9th September 2025. The process employed an open procurement method, ensuring transparency and competitiveness. Located in the Scottish Borders region (UKM91), this contract was categorised under general public services, specifically focusing on relocation services with a CPV classification of 98392000. The contract was officially signed on 9th September 2025, valued at £108,597, marking the completion of the tender process.

This opportunity highlights significant prospects for businesses involved in relocation, logistics, and ethical disposal services, particularly benefiting SMEs that can offer quality services at competitive prices.
