Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is initiating a tender for the enabling works associated with the extension of the Edinburgh Tram from York Place to Newhaven, specifically focusing on utility diversions in the Bernard Street area. This market research opportunity, titled "Edinburgh Tram - York Place to Newhaven - Enabling Works at Bernard Street," is currently in the planning stage. Interested contractors must respond to the market consultation questionnaire by 12 noon on 21st July 2017. The works fall under the general public services industry category and are classified as a construction project within the CPV code 45234126. The contracting authority is located at Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG.

This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in light railway construction and systems supply to engage with the City of Edinburgh Council and shape the procurement strategy for this significant infrastructure project. Contractors that can demonstrate experience in similar projects will be well-suited to participate in the market research exercise, enhancing their competitive position for upcoming contracts related to the tram extension. This engagement will not only allow businesses to influence project outcomes but may also lead to future work once the design and build contract is advertised later in 2017.
