Removals and Storage Framework Agreement

When an individual or a family group present as homeless, the council has a legal duty under the Housing Scotland Act (1987) to provide services to remove and/or store furniture and personal belongings for clients. Due to the nature of the works involved in providing the service, the council cannot provide this service in house and therefore need to outsource this requirement and appoint a suitably experienced supplier to provide the service on behalf of the council.

The Authority may use this framework to move a tenant’s furniture to a more suitable tenancy due to the house being unsuitable due to personal needs. The framework may also be used when the Authority needs to decant a tenant to a different property due to remedial or emergency repairs. In these situations, the tenant’s belongings may either be required to be stored or moved to another property dependant on the situation. In the event that belongings are required to be stored in a storage facility, this service will be covered under Lot 1 of this framework agreement.

We seek to appoint 3 suppliers to this lot.
