Authority: Perth & Kinross Council (Local council)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionPerth and Kinross Council (The Purchaser) is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced Contractors as suppliers to a framework agreement to provide Domestic and Commercial Contents Removals and Storage as set out in the specification document.
Bidders should note that they do not have to be able to perform all the different types of services to gain a place on the framework. For example, a small business who only has capacity to perform small load moves will not be disadvantaged. The Technical response will provide the bidders with an opportunity to select the types of moves they have capacity and capability to perform. This information will be used by the Purchaser for assessing the Suppliers capability and capacity to perform the services at the Call Off stage.
- Recurrence: New framework will be advertised prior to the end of this framework

How Perth & Kinross Council buys Other services (CPV 9839) — and who usually turns up
Perth & Kinross Council’s own published record, next to the Scotland market for the same work. This notice is a framework or DPS, so only frameworks and DPS are compared. Whole-market view: Other services (CPV 9839) →
How the contest usually goes
Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested frameworks and DPS only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Where this tender’s estimate would land if the usual pattern repeats.
We apply the buyer’s usual movement between estimate and award (or the region’s) to the estimate on this notice.
This notice gives one total for several lots, so we show the percentage but do not turn it into pounds.
A benchmark, not a price to bid.
Coverage and what to read with care
- Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
- Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
- “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
