Logistics, Warehousing and Removal Solutions
Framework Description
KCS Procurement Services' Logistics, Warehousing and Removal Solutions framework is a national agreement running until 30 November 2027. It has four lots: warehousing and storage; logistics transport services; removals, relocations and void clearances; and fully comprehensive removal services. It is a traditional framework agreement, not a Dynamic Purchasing System, open to UK public sector buyers.
Context & Use Case
Councils, housing providers, NHS trusts and other public bodies use it for secure storage, moving equipment between sites, office relocations and clearing empty council homes between tenancies. Lot 4 suits buyers wanting packing, moving and disposal handled end to end by one contractor. Work often spans dispersed estates, so suppliers need tracked transport and wide geographic coverage.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Warehousing and Storage Lot 2: Logistic Transport Services Lot 3: Removals, Relocations and Void Clearances Lot 4: Fully Comprehensive Removal Services
Lots
Lot 1: Warehousing & Storage; Lot 2: Logistic Transport Services; Lot 3: Removals, Relocations & Void Clearances; Lot 4: Fully Comprehensive Removal Services
Who Can Apply
Warehousing operators, logistics hauliers and removals contractors with public sector clients, strong security and insurance. Applications for this framework are closed, so new suppliers cannot join until KCS re-tenders, likely during 2027 ahead of 30 November 2027.
Buyer Benefits
Buyers can book storage, transport and removals with vetted suppliers without a new tender each time. Void clearances in Lot 3 help housing providers re-let homes quickly, and the comprehensive lot gives one accountable contractor for complex office moves, cutting the coordination burden on facilities teams.
Next Steps
During 2027, monitor Find a Tender and KCS for the replacement. Prepare evidence on security, insurance, environmental credentials and multi-site capacity, plus public sector references for your chosen lot. Appointed suppliers should approach buyers planning relocations or housing void programmes.
