## Summary

Worcestershire County Council recently engaged in a public procurement process seeking to outsource its record-keeping services due to the re-purposing of County Hall. The procurement, titled "Commercial Storage Provision," involves the secure, efficient, and cost-effective off-site storage services of various records. The tender falls under the service category of storage and retrieval services, and the procurement method employed was an open procedure. The process reached the award stage, with the contract worth £201,870 being awarded to Restore PLC, a large-scale supplier located in Rainham. Key production steps included a tender notice published on 1 April 2026, with the contract commencing on 20 July 2026, and expected to end by 18 July 2031. The delivery will be provided across the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKG region.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in storage and information management, potentially boosting growth by providing long-term services to a major local authority. Companies with expertise in secure data handling, compliance with data protection laws, and efficient record-keeping solutions are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. Participation in Worcestershire County Council’s initiatives can open pathways to build a strong portfolio within the public sector, reinforcing credibility and offering increased visibility and potential for future contracts. Additionally, businesses willing to adopt the Premier Supplier Partnership can benefit from improved cash flow through accelerated payments, further supporting their financial stability and growth.

## Notice

* Following the declaration that County Hall is surplus to the current needs of the Council, all remaining assets, services & functions operating from the County Hall site have been identified for disposal / relocation and this includes the physical records currently held in the Record Office building, managed by the Corporate Information Governance Team (CIGT). * The records held by CIGT comprise records created across the whole Council and include: * Legal files * Deeds and agreements * Adult and Children's Social care records * Highways, planning, development control, environment * Employee records * Funding and grant programme records * Building and property files * To ensure compliance with statutory obligations and best-practice standards, the Council seeks to appoint a contractor to provide secure, efficient, and cost-effective off-site storage services with retrieval, destruction, and related support. * Physical records are currently managed through a combination of the FileTrack records management system, locally maintained spreadsheets, and a suite of documented processes, policies, and standards. All boxes and oversized items are assigned a unique barcode identifier linked to FileTrack, enabling location control, audit trails, and retrieval management. Individual files within boxes are only barcoded if they have previously been requested, enabling accurate re-filing back into their originating container. * Retention and disposal activities are governed by the Council's Disposal Schedule, which is complex due to the broad range of services the Council delivers and the diverse types of records it creates. The schedule sets out minimum retention periods based on legislative obligations, statutory guidance, and operational needs. When the contents of a box reach the end of their retention period, CIGT initiates a review by contacting the relevant Data Owners. Disposal decisions may result in destruction approval, extended retention, or--in some cases--individual file-level reviews where mixed content exists.
