Summary of the contracting process

In Edinburgh, an award notice has been issued for the procurement process titled "Plan Chest Extension" by the National Records of Scotland. This contract pertains to the "Public Records" industry category and involves the extension of a plan chest installation. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract being signed on 1 April 2026, amounting to £35,584. The contract, governed under a limited award procedure with no prior publication, was executed as a call-off from Scotland Excel 0621 Lot 2. The process was outside the scope of the directive, thus allowing it to proceed without a competitive tender. The contract’s location is centred in Edinburgh, within the UKM75 region. The supplier awarded is Rackline Ltd, leveraging their expertise in storage solutions.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in furniture installation and storage solutions. Given the nature of the procurement method—a direct award without prior competition—Rackline Ltd was able to secure this contract through existing frameworks. Companies with capabilities in providing additional storage chests or enhancing existing facilities can benefit from such agreements. Large-scale suppliers with expertise in public services can look to engage in similar procurements, especially those within the furniture sector or associated services, offering prospects for growth within government projects. While small and medium enterprises did not compete in this tender, there is potential for them to leverage similar frameworks for future opportunities.
