Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has recently awarded a contract for the "West Edinburgh Emergency Snow Clearance" services. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, has been completed with a contract value of £120,000 signed on 28th September 2023. This opportunity, falling under snow-clearing services, was aimed at contingency for snow clearance during extreme weather in the West of Edinburgh. The contracting authority, The City of Edinburgh Council, located at 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, is responsible for this procurement. The main procurement category is services, and the procurement method used was an open procedure.

This contract presents a business growth opportunity for firms providing snow-clearing services, particularly for those operating within the Balerno and Ratho areas of Edinburgh. Companies specialising in snow-clearance operations and with experience in emergency response services would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Businesses should take note of potential tender deadlines, such as the recent deadline on 3rd August 2023 for the "West Edinburgh Emergency Snow Clearance" tender. The contract, for a duration of three years with a possible extension of up to 36 months, offers a stable revenue stream for the chosen supplier, in this case the Firm of James Lawrie.
