The length of the Housing Removal Services framework is for four years. The commencement date of the framework is 1 January 2022.
The Council has awarded five suppliers to be on the Housing Removals Framework. The five suppliers that are appointed onto the framework will be ranked 1 to 5. The first company on the list being the first point of contact for the Council when a removal comes up. If the first ranked supplier is not able to do the move, the next ranked supplier will be contacted and so on until a supplier confirms availability.
The ranking of the suppliers on the framework will be re-assessed prior to the anniversary start date of the contract in each year of the framework. This will then determine the ranking of the suppliers under the framework for the next year of the framework.
The Council’s housing removals requirements run on a very short time frame. Most removals are booked between 1 and 7 days prior to the move. We do not expect the first ranked supplier will be available for every move due to availability. It is for this reason a framework of up to five suppliers has been decided on rather than just a single supplier.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 40
- Price: 60
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Housing Removal Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
