## Summary

The procurement process, led by the North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium (NEUPC Ltd), involves awarding a framework for removal and relocation services across the UK. The initiative is classified under the 'services' industry category, specifically focusing on relocation services. This procurement process is currently in the 'Award' stage, having completed the tender phase on 19 February 2021. The framework is designed to support both small and large projects, with a total contract value of £10 million available for suppliers to engage with. Participating organisations include universities and their respective partners, and collaborations may also tap into EU funding streams.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in relocation services, particularly those equipped for commercial removals, arts and artefacts relocations, or laboratory equipment handling. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find favourable conditions under the small contracts lot, catering to projects under £100,000, while larger firms can compete for national contracts worth over £100,000. The varying complexity levels of projects encourage a diverse range of service providers to participate, providing considerable avenues for growth and collaboration within the higher education sector.
