Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the External Offsite Revenues Processing Service for Council Tax and National Non-Domestic Rates within the Edinburgh region. This tender, which falls under the services industry category, was initiated using an open procurement procedure and is currently in the Award phase. Key dates include a bid opening on 5th June 2019, with the contract signed on 3rd October 2019. The Framework aims to ensure that there are sufficient resources to handle fluctuating processing demands throughout the year, which is crucial for the timely collection of payments that fund core council services.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in service delivery related to revenue management, particularly those with the capacity to scale operations during peak periods. Companies that are well-suited to compete include large-scale suppliers with experience in processing Council Tax and National Non-Domestic Rates, as well as those familiar with establishing flexible resourcing capabilities. The competitive landscape suggests that businesses ready to offer quality solutions while managing price effectively will be strongest contenders for future contracts in this essential public service sector.
