Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed a procurement process for the emergency purchase of hand sanitiser dispensers and consumables, valued at approximately £106,778.36. This procurement was initiated under an open procedure to address urgent needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically supporting Council staff and service users in returning to work and education. The contract was awarded on 31 July 2020, following the identification of immediate requirements for hand sanitiser dispensers to be installed across Council schools and offices in Edinburgh, notably in response to government guidance. The procurement is classified under the general public services category and was conducted in the UKM75 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the supply of health and safety goods, including sanitisation products. Companies like Scott Direct and Clyde Paper & Print, which were successful suppliers, exemplify suitable competitors in this market. The urgency and scale of such procurements can allow businesses to expand their operational capacities and client bases, especially those capable of rapidly delivering essential goods during times of public health crises.
