## Summary

The Durham Constabulary, represented by its Durham Police Procurement Team, recently completed the "Investigative Hub Moving Project" tender within the services category, focusing on relocation services. The project involved the relocation of equipment from multiple custody suites and smaller police offices to a new centralised building at Durham Gate. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, conducted through a mini competition from an established framework. The contract for this project was awarded to Johnsons 1871 Ltd on 20th April 2023.

This tender opportunity presents potential for businesses specialised in relocation services to expand their operations by providing services to the Durham Constabulary. The project's completion signals a shift in the infrastructure of the police force, creating ongoing opportunities for businesses looking to offer similar services in the public safety sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in handling complex relocation projects are well-suited to compete for future tenders in this category, particularly those who can demonstrate expertise in quality-driven services to meet the buyer's requirements.
