Ref 274: Boroughwide Storage and Removal Services

Tender description

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) has an ongoing need to ensure removal and storage service is available for residents who approach the housing department for assistance. This includes residents who apply to the authority under the homelessness legislation and residents wishing to transfer from Council managed and/or other socially rented accommodation to more suitable accommodation. There may also be occasions where residents approach the Council from housing tenures other than those mentioned, where provision of the service will be made available. Residents using the service increasingly include the vulnerable and elderly, disabled residents, residents on the Accessible Housing Register and those affected by the Grenfell tragedy who require additional support to enable them to move. We would welcome proposals from Contractors in the business of providing the following services for residents living in the private sector and social rented housing accommodation: i. Removals and delivery ii. Storage - collection and delivery iii. Environmentally sound disposal or recycling of tenant’s goods/waste that is no longer required iv. Dismantling furniture and reassembly thereafter. The Contract is anticipated to run for a period of three years from October 2023 with an option to extend for a further 2 years, taking the total contract duration to 5 years altogether. Please refer to the specification document for a comprehensive service list and description of the scope of service.
