Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council is planning a services framework for removals, storage and clearance work across Angus. The scope covers three areas: domestic removals; short- and long-term storage; and commercial removals and relocations for settings such as schools and offices. Domestic work includes moving household belongings, while the clearance element covers clearing homes. Storage providers would need to accommodate both short- and long-term requirements. The commercial removals lot is intended for organisational relocations rather than household moves. This will suit businesses operating locally or able to deliver throughout Angus, including removal companies, self-storage and warehouse operators, property-clearance firms, and providers that combine these services. The procurement is being led by Angus Council, which is acting as the public-sector buyer and central purchasing body.

This is an early planning stage: Angus Council has announced an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The procurement is expected to be structured as a three-lot framework covering domestic removals, short- and long-term storage, and commercial removals. The total stated estimated value is £232,000 including all three lots; it should not be treated as the value of any individual lot. Angus Council planned to issue a subsequent notice on 4 September 2026. It also planned market engagement through a questionnaire, with responses requested by 12 noon on 21 August 2026. The record does not set out an expected procurement method, selection requirements or award criteria. Suppliers should use the engagement stage to inform the developing requirement rather than submit a tender.

The requirement should suit established removal and relocation businesses with the vehicles, equipment and staff to move domestic or commercial contents safely. It is also relevant to storage operators with facilities able to support both short- and long-term storage, and to clearance specialists able to empty homes. Businesses offering an integrated removals, storage and clearance service may be well placed to cover more than one lot, while firms with a narrower specialism may focus on the most relevant area. Commercial relocation experience in schools, offices or similar premises would be useful for the commercial lot. Suppliers should prepare evidence of their operational capacity, local coverage, handling and transport arrangements, storage facilities, and experience delivering comparable services before the framework reaches the market.
