## Summary

The Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) has initiated a Housing Removal Services Framework tender aimed at securing experienced removal companies for transporting items on behalf of tenants residing within their properties. This framework is classified under services, specifically for the hire of goods-transport vehicles with a driver. The procurement process is currently active, with a contract duration of four years commencing on 1 January 2022, and a total estimated value of £320,000. The framework allows for up to five suppliers, who will be ranked for contract allocation. Interested parties must submit their bids electronically by the specified deadlines detailed in the procurement notices.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the removal services sector, particularly those with proven experience in residential moving. Companies capable of demonstrating quality service and competitive pricing will be well-positioned to participate in this tender. Furthermore, as removals typically occur on a short notice basis, businesses with the flexibility and capacity to adapt to varying schedules will find this framework particularly suitable for expanding their clientele. Engaging with this procurement could significantly enhance business growth within the competitive removal services market.

## Notice

The Council has created a framework for removal companies to transport items as identified from one Housing property to another on behalf of tenants residing within these properties. The Housing Removal Services Framework consists of five companies capable of delivering removal services. The start date of the framework contract is 1 January 2021. The framework contract will be for four years. BCP Council ('the Council') has creating a Housing Removal Services Framework to assist with residential removal services. The removal companies are expected to be experienced and professional to transport items as identified from one housing property to another on behalf of tenants residing within these properties. This contract is being procured on behalf of both Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) and Poole Housing Partnership Ltd (PHP).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The length of the Housing Removal Services framework is for four years. The commencement date of the framework is 1 January 2022. The Council has awarded five suppliers to be on the Housing Removals Framework. The five suppliers that are appointed onto the framework will be ranked 1 to 5. The first company on the list being the first point of contact for the Council when a removal comes up. If the first ranked supplier is not able to do the move, the next ranked supplier will be contacted and so on until a supplier confirms availability. The ranking of the suppliers on the framework will be re-assessed prior to the anniversary start date of the contract in each year of the framework. This will then determine the ranking of the suppliers under the framework for the next year of the framework. The Council's housing removals requirements run on a very short time frame. Most removals are booked between 1 and 7 days prior to the move. We do not expect the first ranked supplier will be available for every move due to availability. It is for this reason a framework of up to five suppliers has been decided on rather than just a single supplier.

Renewal: The length of the contract will be for four years. Once the contract has ended, it is likely that a new contract will be procured.
