What is being bought

Published requirement description

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council has created a framework for removal companies to transport items as identified from one Council office to another.

The Office Removal Services Framework consists of three companies capable of delivering removals services as outlined in this specification.

The three suppliers appointed onto the framework are ranked 1 to 3. 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 start date of the framework contract is 1 October 2022. The framework contract will be

for three years and three months.

BCP Council (‘the Council’) has creating an Office Removal Services Framework to assist with

Council office accommodation removals and site clearances.

The removal companies are expected to be experienced and professional to transport items as identified from one Council property to another. Office Removal Services will be requested on an as and when basis. The Council does not guarantee any level of business for any company awarded onto the framework during the period of the contract.

  • Recurrence: Estimated timing for further notices to be published: The length of the contract will be for three years and three months. Once the contract has ended, it is likely that a new contract will be procured.

What this means for your bid
  • 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.
  • “Office Removals Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
