Council Archive Relocation Checklist: A Public-Sector Procurement Brief

26 March 2026 ยท 8 min read

Local authority procurement teams have a specific set of evaluation questions. A well-written ITT scope reduces tender clarifications by 80% and gets the best contractors in the room. Here is the structure that works.

1. Scope statement

"Dismantle, transport, reinstall and PUWER-certify approximately [X] linear metres of [manufacturer] mobile shelving from [origin] to [destination]." Keep it that crisp.

2. Mandatory accreditations

  • SEMA member with named SEMA-approved inspector
  • SEIRS registration
  • IPAF / CSCS cards for all operatives
  • Enhanced DBS where archives include personal data
  • ยฃ10M public liability minimum

3. Evaluation criteria

Recommended split: 60% quality, 40% price. Quality questions should test method statement quality, sector references and PUWER process โ€” not generic CSR boilerplate.

4. Programme constraints

  • Stated working hours and any restricted dates
  • Stock decant responsibility (council or contractor)
  • Required completion milestone

5. Deliverables on completion

  • RAMS file, signed
  • Photographic close-out
  • PUWER inspection certificate
  • Waste-transfer notes (if any disposal)
  • O&M handover pack

Send the ITT to office@rackstor.co.uk โ€” we respond in full within five working days.
