OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the "Proficiency Testing Materials" contract, categorised under general public services. The contract, valued at £143,870, was awarded on 12th March 2026 to the supplier LGC, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Bury, UK. The procurement was conducted using a limited process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, known as Direct Award. The completed contract is part of the council's efforts to ensure proficiency in testing services, with the main service delivery taking place in the Edinburgh area (region UKM75).

This tender presents business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in proficiency testing materials and associated services. SMEs with expertise in this niche sector can benefit from similar contracts, especially those that can navigate limited procurement processes or have established partnerships with local authorities. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality, competitively priced services are well-suited for future tenders in this category, particularly in regions under the jurisdiction of the UK’s regional or local authorities like The City of Edinburgh Council.
