OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council is seeking suppliers for domestic and commercial contents removals and storage across Perth and Kinross. The work covers moves from domestic properties and commercial properties, with storage included; the detailed service requirements are set out in the specification. The council intends to appoint suppliers to a framework, from which it can commission services as needs arise. Suppliers can apply for the types of moves they have the capacity and capability to undertake: they do not need to provide every service or handle every load size. This makes the requirement relevant to removal and storage businesses serving households, commercial premises, or both, including smaller operators focused on small-load moves.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00. The framework is divided into two lots: domestic properties and commercial properties. Each lot has a stated maximum value of £480,000, based on historical spending; this is a capacity ceiling, not an indication of likely work awarded. The stated contract period for each lot is 1,440 days. Suppliers may bid for the lots that match their services. Evaluation is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality. The framework is intended to have up to eight participants. Bids must be in English and remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline.

This opportunity suits removal and storage contractors with experience delivering comparable services, whether for households, businesses, or particular move types. Bidders must provide two examples of similar services delivered in the preceding three years, including service descriptions, contract values and dates, and customer details. Financial checks cover current ratios and net assets for the last two financial years. Required insurance includes employers’ liability cover of £10 million, public liability cover of £5 million, goods-in-transit cover of £35,000 and goods-in-storage cover of £1 million. Suppliers need quality, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements: the stated standards can be evidenced by relevant accredited certificates or documented policies and procedures. Smaller firms can bid for the move types they can manage.
