I agree, the rolling over is usually my cue to get out the crib (I love hearing/reading the word cot, but it's habit over here in the US to call it a crib!)
If you have had baby in your room, do you intend to keep the cot in your room also? If the cot is going in another room, I would set it up and then work the bassinet into the other room first, so he's only dealing with one change first. If baby doesn't seem to notice the difference of not being in your room, then you should be fine to start trying him right in the cot at night. This will be even easier if he's not used to hearing your sounds at night and has always been in his own room. If the cot will remain with you in your room, then again you will just be able to try him in there. Sometimes it's best to let him take naps in the cot first, to let him get used to the feel of it slowly, then you can start trying nights.
I hope that helps somewhat. You may be lucky and be able to just set him right up, if not those are the things I have done to try to make the transition easier. Good luck!
