Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Borders Council has recently concluded the procurement process for the relocation and ethical disposal services required for the full school decant of Peebles High School and Galashiels Academy. 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. Clockwork Removals, a small to medium-sized enterprise, successfully secured the contract, demonstrating the council's openness to working with smaller firms. Businesses that can provide efficient and environmentally friendly solutions in school decanting and waste management across the UK, especially those familiar with electronic submission and performance management plans, would find such opportunities favourable for growth and establishing a stronger presence in public contracts. The contract mandates both electronic ordering and invoicing, showcasing the need for digitally adept contractors capable of interacting with modern procurement frameworks.
