## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by Southampton City Council, seeking a provider for the "Sustainable Distribution and Storage Services" contract, categorised under transport services. This open tender was published on 20th June 2019, with a deadline for submissions set for 22nd July 2019. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st September 2019 and conclude on 31st August 2023, with a total contract value of £520,000. The services will primarily benefit the Southampton area by reducing HGV vehicle movements, thus addressing congestion and improving air quality.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for logistics and warehousing companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative sustainable solutions to freight consolidation and warehousing. By participating in this tender, businesses can position themselves to not only contribute to local environmental objectives but also potentially enhance their operational efficiency and profitability by providing flexible storage and delivery services tailored to the needs of organisations utilising the Sustainable Distribution Centre.

## Notice

Southampton City Council (SCC) is looking for a warehousing and logistics provider to continue to provide a Sustainable Distribution Centre (SDC) service, offering freight consolidation and comprehensive warehousing from their premises to Southampton and the surrounding areas. The SDC will benefit Southampton and its surrounding area by fundamentally reducing HGV vehicle movements, helping to cut congestion, improve air quality and provide a delivery service which will help SCC achieve the aims and objectives of the local plan for NO2 compliance submitted to JAQU in January 2019 (non-charging Clean Air Zone). These benefits could be achieved by the SDC providing a combination of short-term and long-term storage options, receiving goods preferably 24/7 (increasing the opportunity for night trunking and out of hours delivery) and then forwarding them to the end-users at a designated time. This will enable organisations using the SDC to reduce their level of onsite storage capacity, increase retail/office space, and have greater control over delivery times and frequencies. The desired result is a positive impact on the bottom line of the user and/or to enable a more efficient use of office/retail space, as well as to reduce the number of delivery vehicles travelling into and out of the city of Southampton.
