Located in Edinburgh, this project was initiated on 10th September 2025 and has now reached the award stage, as indicated by the most recent data from 19th March 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in design support services, particularly those based in or around Edinburgh, to engage with public sector contracts.
