Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council procured storage and removal services for its own operations in Fife. The requirement covered the handling, transport and storage of items, rather than the purchase of ordinary goods despite the procurement being categorised under goods. The work was for Fife Council and was delivered in the Fife area. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering storage and removal services. This is relevant to removal companies, storage operators and logistics businesses able to provide combined removal and storage support for a local authority. The buyer is Fife Council, a local authority and central purchasing body based in Glenrothes.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Fife Council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, because an extension was completed when timescales did not allow a full tender exercise. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. AMC Removals UK was awarded the requirement. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £100,000. The award covered the single storage and removal requirement. The published classification was CPV 30193700. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates demand from Fife Council for a combined removal and storage service delivered across Fife. A credible future competitor would need practical capacity for both activities, including suitable vehicles, trained removal staff, secure storage facilities and the ability to coordinate collection, transport, storage and return or delivery. Experience of working for a public authority would help with operational planning, records, scheduling, site access and service accountability. The requirement also shows that a small or medium-sized enterprise can supply this type of council service. Businesses offering only removals or only storage would be less closely aligned than operators able to manage the complete service through one delivery team.
