OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen is procuring ad hoc removals services for its activities in Aberdeen. The requirement is for a supplier to provide removal and relocation support when needed under a contract, rather than a single defined move. It is a services procurement covering the University’s requirements in the Aberdeen area. The buyer is the University of Aberdeen, an education-sector public body. Suppliers should therefore be equipped to handle moves involving university premises, contents and equipment, with the flexibility to respond to separate requests during the contract. The opportunity is relevant to removals companies, relocation providers and logistics businesses that can deliver managed removal services in Aberdeen and support a public-sector customer through an organised service arrangement.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the University invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Offers were due by 26 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids scheduled to open at the same time; award evaluation was scheduled to start then. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1 October 2026, run initially for three years, and last 1,080 days. The buyer may extend it by up to five further 12-month periods, subject to satisfactory annual review and mutual agreement. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 75% to technical quality and 25% to price. Bids must remain valid for 90 days, be submitted in English, and variants are not permitted. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits removals and relocation specialists able to provide ad hoc services reliably over an extended public-sector contract. Strong candidates are likely to have the operational capacity to accept separate requests, plan and carry out moves safely, protect and handle customers’ property, and coordinate deliveries and collections around university activities in Aberdeen. The technical assessment carries substantially more weight than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a clear service method, competent staff, dependable vehicles and equipment, and effective scheduling and communication. Experience of servicing large organisations, public bodies, campuses or multi-site estates would help suppliers show that they can manage varied requirements and maintain consistent performance through annual reviews. Providers must also be comfortable with electronic tendering and contract administration.
