Description

The Council requires experienced and professional removal companies to transport items as identified from one Housing property to another on behalf of tenants residing within these properties. The Housing Removal Services Framework will consist of up to five companies capable of delivering removal services. The anticipated start date of the contract is 1 January 2021. The contract will be for four years. BCP Council (‘the Council’) is creating a Housing Removal Services Framework to assist with residential removal services. The Housing Removal Services Framework will consist of up to five companies capable of delivering removal services as outlined in the specification. The removal companies are expected to be experienced and professional to transport items as identified from one housing property to another on behalf of tenants residing within these properties. This contract is being procured on behalf of both Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) and Poole Housing Partnership Ltd (PHP).

Total Quantity or Scope

The length of the Housing Removal Services framework will be for four years. It is anticipated that the framework will commence on 1 January 2022. The Council will be awarding up to 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.
