## Summary

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust is leading a collaborative procurement with Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust for commercial removals and associated relocation and storage services. A single service provider will manage moves for clinical and non-clinical wards and departments in live environments, including hospitals, health centres, clinics, community hubs and general office buildings. The requirement covers removal and relocation activity across Kent, Medway, East Sussex, and some areas of Inner and Outer London. The service is intended to provide professionally managed, cost-effective moves, improve service delivery and value for money, and support good practice, risk management, sustainability and social responsibility across both NHS organisations. This is a services contract, including relocation and storage and warehousing work.

The procurement has reached tender: the authorities invited offers through an open procedure using an electronic tendering system. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses were due by 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 9 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 20 November 2026 to 19 November 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 19 November 2032. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £602,052 excluding VAT, or £722,462 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on finance at 70%, quality at 20%, and social value and sustainability at 10%. Responses and communications are handled electronically through Atamis.

This opportunity suits an established commercial removals, relocation, storage or logistics provider able to work safely in occupied healthcare and office environments. The authority requires appropriate resources and relevant experience, including the capacity to coordinate moves across multiple NHS sites and locations. Mandatory technical requirements include a Healthcare Waste Carrier Licence, ISO 14001 environmental management accreditation and membership of the British Association of Removers Commercial Moving Group. Suppliers must also demonstrate suitable insurance, a health and safety policy, a business continuity plan, compliant and well-maintained vehicles, and adequate storage and logistics capability. Financial stability will be assessed using Dun & Bradstreet credit information; bidders must not be subject to insolvency, administration, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants.
