Work includes moving household and commercial contents and providing storage, with two separate requirements: domestic properties and commercial properties. The council expects suppliers to state which types and sizes of move they can handle; a business need not offer every service to take part. Delivery is in Perth and Kinross. The framework is intended to provide removals and storage services for the council’s requirements, including peaks in demand. Suppliers would join a framework from which the council can place individual call-offs, rather than receive a guaranteed volume of work. The council invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement, split into domestic-property and commercial-property lots, with up to eight suppliers. The tender deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12 noon; bids were to be submitted electronically in English. The framework period is 1,440 days, with no renewal. The stated maximum value is £480,000 for each lot; this is based on historical spending and is a capacity limit, not a forecast of work awarded. Evaluation is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality. Bidders were required to provide two examples of similar services delivered in the previous three years, with contract details, and disclose any intended subcontracting. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days. The opportunity may suit removals and storage businesses of different sizes: suppliers can select the move types and capacities they can deliver, and smaller firms able to handle only small-load moves are not disadvantaged. This makes the framework potentially accessible to specialist operators as well as providers covering a wider range of domestic and commercial work. Applicants need relevant service experience and must demonstrate financial standing, including current-ratio and net-assets information for the last two financial years. Required cover includes employer’s and public liability, goods-in-transit and goods-in-storage insurance. Suppliers must also evidence quality management, health and safety, and environmental management, either through recognised certification or documented policies and procedures. Community benefits form part of the requirement. ## Notice Perth and Kinross Council (The Purchaser) is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced Contractors as suppliers to a framework agreement to provide Domestic and Commercial Contents Removals and Storage as set out in the specification document.
