## Summary

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body is initiating a tender for "Removal Services" aimed at providing comprehensive office removal and relocation services for Members of the Scottish Parliament's local offices throughout Scotland, with a particular focus on Edinburgh. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage and is being conducted through a selective procedure, allowing only pre-qualified suppliers to bid. Interested parties must submit their proposals electronically by 16 November 2018. The contract is valued at £180,000 and is anticipated to span several years, with the potential for renewal.
