One of the UK’s largest providers of public sector procurement services, KCS, has chosen Mobile Mini UK as its latest partner to support industry needs.

Global provider of portable accommodation and secure storage containers Mobile Mini UK, announces its newest partnership in the provision of temporary and semi-permanent buildings’ solutions. The four-year contract with management framework provider KCS Procurement Services, is set to generate a significant revenue stream for Mobile Mini UK and commences early next year.

Headquartered in Stockton-on-Tees, Mobile Mini UK leads in the supply of secure storage via 16 sites and over 40,000 portable units to the construction, retail, healthcare, education, utilities industries and more. To support its current plans, the company is growing its commercial division as part of its ongoing business strategy. 

Carl Leeson, Head of Strategic Accounts at Mobile Mini UK said: “Backed by the largest fleet of temporary accommodation and storage units in the UK and driven by our professional expertise, we are delighted to be partnering with KCS Procurement Services to support organisations and businesses in the wider UK public sector.”

“Our Public Sector team, working alongside KCS Procurement Services, is witness to the quality of service we provide and of our understanding of the customers that we serve. We’re proud of this accomplishment and see this as a great way to round-off this year and start 2023.”

Kerry Eagle, Sales Development Team Leader at Mobile Mini UK said: “We are extremely pleased to have won this tender, which we achieved through the hard work and dedication of our commercial team. Our focus on KCS’s requirements and attention to detail allowed us to build a solution that met all the requirements of the tender document in full.”

Tarryn Kerr KCS Procurement Services Director said: “We are committed to presenting the best procurement solutions, with social value at the heart of all we do. Our latest framework, Temporary and Semi-Permanent Buildings, offers an effective way for organisations to create more flexible space and to satisfy many needs. 

“By partnering with specialists in their fields’, the framework will cover an extended range of temporary and semi-permanent buildings for purchase or for hire. The value of this framework is significant, worth a potential £400 million, so it was essential that the tendering process was thorough and robust; ensuring only the highest quality solutions would be successful. 

“The application from Mobile Mini UK was impressive and showcased their attention to detail, level of consideration and many years of experience, making them ideal partners for us to work with.”  

The Mobile Mini UK KCS contract began in February 2023 and was swiftly followed by a meeting between both Mobile Mini UK and KCS Procurement Services representatives hosted at the Mobile Mini London branch. This provided the opportunity for KCS Procurement to familiarise themselves with the Mobile Mini product offering, while forming cross functional relationships across departments such as Marketing.
