This procurement is classified under the 'Relocation services' category and is anticipated to support moves across various force areas including Avon and Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire. Key contractors are invited to participate in a market consultation exercise starting from 30 January 2025, with a pre-market engagement questionnaire to be submitted by 26 February 2025. The formal tender process is expected to begin in April 2025. The total value of this contract is estimated to be £250,000, and it will include planned and rare short-notice moves, vehicles, security-vetted staff, and crate hire, with potential for disposal or recycling services. This procurement presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in office removals, vehicle provision with vetted staff, and ancillary services like furniture disposal. Companies with capabilities in logistics and security, particularly those operating within or capable of expanding to the South West England regions, would find this tender particularly attractive. The early market engagement phase allows suppliers to influence the final specifications, making it vital for potential bidders aiming to secure this contract to take part in the consultation process. This is an excellent opportunity for providers to expand their portfolio with police forces as their clients, ensuring a stable and substantial business growth path. ## Notice Prior Information Notice as a call for early market engagement for Office Removals and Relocation Services for Avon and Somerset, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Police Forces ### Lot Information Avon and Somerset Police Avon & Somerset Police, Dorset Police, Gloucestershire Police and Wiltshire Police are currently undertaking early market engagement and considering various route to market options in order to run a successful procurement process for their future office removal and relocation service requirements.
