## Summary

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body has conducted a completed procurement process for the "Off-site Storage Services" contract, which involves providing self-storage units and warehousing services to the Parliament. This open procurement process was initiated in Edinburgh, UK, with the contract awarded to Len Lothian Limited. The contract is valued at £270,000 and was signed on 4 March 2019. Key aspects include that the storage facility must be within 40 minutes of the Scottish Parliament, and services are required 52 weeks per year.
