## Summary

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured a service to deliver equipment to polling stations and remove it afterwards on behalf of the Returning Officer. The requirement combines road transport with the handling and movement of equipment used at polling stations. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. This is a local authority requirement linked to the operation of polling stations, rather than a general transport service. The work centres on moving equipment to polling stations and clearing it away after use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Darvills Removal and Storage Limited. The council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The award is valued at £170,000 gross. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 May 2028. One lot is recorded, and the award covers that lot. The stated service is equipment delivery to and removal from polling stations; the published evaluation basis and selection criteria are not described. The award is recorded as pending, while the procurement itself is marked complete.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future polling-station logistics requirement, the contract demonstrates demand for coordinated delivery and removal of equipment across polling locations. A credible provider would need road transport capability, suitable vehicles and equipment-handling capacity, and the ability to organise deliveries and collections around polling station operations. The service also calls for dependable scheduling and coordination with the Returning Officer’s requirements, so that equipment is placed where needed and removed afterwards. Darvills Removal and Storage Limited, recorded as an SME, was selected through a direct award without competition; the process therefore does not establish how suppliers would be compared in a future competition or what formal accreditations would be required.
