BU Names Preferred Suppliers for Moving Services
The Boston University Moving Services Commodity Council in collaboration with Sourcing & Procurement has completed a competitive sourcing initiative to identify preferred moving companies. As a result of the initiative, we are proud to recommend the following companies:General moves: Paul W. Taylor Moving & Storage
Complex & union moves: Walsh Movers
Rigging/heavy equipment required: Toupin Rigging
In the instances where your move requires special planning, service or equipment, please contact Lucas Dean (617-353-8752) or Bob Simboli (617-353-8753) for further information.
The Request for Information (RFI) was issued to formally qualify companies who provide union and non-union moving services for offices, laboratories, rigging and storage. The objectives were to consolidate the supplier base, identify and adopt industry best practices, create service level agreements and to leverage spend. Fourteen moving companies were invited to complete a comprehensive questionnaire based on the Commodity Council’s requirements for execution, communication skills, procedures, project management, preparation, training, storage availability, pricing, response time, damage claims, references and compliance with federal and state requirements.
