    The nature of the work involved will vary depending on the nature of the request to remove and store items but will cover situations such as homelessness, decants for improvement works to be carried out and other ad hoc situations such as abandonments and other routine tenancy changes.

  • Removals and Storage Framework Agreement - Lot Two (House to House Moves)

    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.

We seek to appoint three suppliers to this lot.
