This procurement, classified under Storage and Warehousing Services (CPV 63120000), involves carrying out removals and storage services for housing management, housing options, and temporary accommodation tenants in the South East region, specifically in Hastings and Wealden. The tender is in the active stage with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 3rd April 2025, and the contract period running from 12th May 2025 to 31st August 2028. The procurement method is an open procedure above threshold, and businesses are encouraged to submit bids for one or both lots pertaining to either Hastings Borough Council or Wealden District Council. This tender offers significant opportunities for qualified businesses, particularly those specialising in storage, warehousing, and relocation services, to expand their footprint in the public sector. The contract's scope includes the provision of safe, hygienic storage facilities for vulnerable persons' possessions, making it ideal for companies experienced in handling sensitive and varied storage needs. The open procedure allows for inclusive competition, and the Councils' flexibility in awarding the contracts—either jointly or separately—could benefit businesses of all sizes, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to establish or grow their presence in the public procurement market. ## Notice Hastings Borough and Wealden District Councils ('the Councils') are seeking suitably qualified and experienced supplier(s) to carry out removals and storage for housing management, housing options and temporary accommodation tenants ('Clients'). Storage requirements will vary on a case-by-case basis. This will be dependent on the number and size of items required, as well as the duration the items will need to be stored for. Therefore, the Councils require a storage space which can facilitate different requirements. Clients will need to be able to access their items in storage via appointment. Therefore, the storage facility should be appropriately located for Hastings and Wealden residents respectively. The storage space must be suitable for safe and hygienic storage of clothing and possessions of vulnerable persons and be capable of inhibiting deterioration of possessions as far as reasonably possible. The tender is divided into two lots as follows: - Lot 1 - Hastings Borough Council - Lot 2 - Wealden District Council Bidders are entitled to bid for one or both lots. The Council reserves the right to award both contracts to a single bidder or to award each contract to separate bidders. The two lots have some differing requirements, therefore please refer to the relevant lot documents when providing a bid. Full details are available in the tender documents.
