Removals and Storage Services Framework

Overview
Our Removals and Storage Framework is for the provision of domestic and/or commercial removals to or from buildings managed and/or maintained by public sector clients.
The removal services may also offer temporary storage of items, a complete packing service, which can include dismantling and reassembling items of furniture and boxes and/or containers to enable customers to pack their belongings.
Additionally and in tandem, the removal & storage service providers may be required to provide inventory checking services upon request.
To see all of our Framework Appointees and unique 4-Step Call-off process please continue to scroll down.We have developed an easy 4-step E-sign call off process, allowing you to directly select or run a mini competition. The steps include signing our Confidentiality Agreement to obtain a password, using that password to access the specification and the framework cost model, and finally, E-Signing the Joining Agreement. You also have the option to use our own contract or run a mini competition.

How can I use this Framework?
Our simple step process allows for both Direct Selection or Mini-Competition. Further information can be found below. Please note that Clients may enter into a contract for any duration that best allows for the performance of the requirement to be achieved.
Direct Selection
With the Direct Selection method, you may select the contractor who is ranked number 1, or any other Contractor/Consultant on the following basis:
- Where you have an existing relationship with the Contractor/Consultant.
- Where the Call Off has substantial similarities to a previous project the Contractor/Consultant was involved with (under this Framework Agreement or not).
- For reasons of urgency, where it is not reasonably practical to award the Call-Off Contract by way of a Mini-Competition.
- Capability Criteria determining that only one framework appointee is capable of carrying out the Call-Off Contract.
- Where you are able to determine which Contractor/Consultant will provide the most economically advantageous offer.
- Where a Contractor/Consultant has introduced the site.
Mini Competition
Our Mini-Competition process lets you expand beyond the framework’s original specification to meet your specific requirements. The framework partners from the relevant lot are invited to tender (where capable). This process typically takes 2-4 weeks. The capability criteria can be defined by the following:
- The contractors capability to carry out a project of the size and complexity of the proposed project.
- The contractors capability to carry out works and services in the locality of the proposed project.
- The contractors financial stability and standing.
- The contractors health and safety record.
- The contractors capacity, taking into account the value of Works and Services already awarded to it under the Framework Agreement.
