The work may cover rental assistance, help with property sales, temporary accommodation, household removals and storage, and guaranteed sale price arrangements in exceptional circumstances. Services are intended for relocations throughout Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands. This is a people-relocation service combining practical moving support with housing-related assistance, rather than a general transport or accommodation contract. The process is at planning stage: the buyer has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is planned as one service lot, with an expected procurement value of £120,000. The buyer expects to publish a subsequent notice on 16 December 2026; this is an indicative future notice date, not a bid deadline. The planning information describes the range of potential relocation support but does not set out a procedure, participation requirements or evaluation criteria. Suppliers should treat the stated scope and value as the buyer’s current planning position. This may suit relocation-management providers able to coordinate several types of support for employees moving across Scotland, including remote areas such as the Highlands and Islands. Useful capabilities include arranging rental and temporary accommodation, supporting residential property sales, managing household removals and storage, and handling exceptional guaranteed sale price cases. Firms with established networks across Scotland and the capacity to manage varied employee needs are likely to be better placed to respond when the procurement reaches the market. The service scope suggests a need to combine housing and moving expertise, coordinate suppliers and provide support across dispersed locations. Suppliers can use the planning stage to consider whether their service range and geographic coverage fit. ## Notice The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) is seeking employee relocation services to support staff relocating throughout Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands, for business and operational requirements.
