Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Staff Surveys," initiated by Crown Estate Scotland, involves the provision of staff survey services within the region of Edinburgh, UK. Crown Estate Scotland, located at Quartermile Two, 2nd Floor, 2 Lister Square, Edinburgh, is the buying organisation overseeing this process. The procurement falls under the "General public services" and "Estate Management" industry categories and follows a limited procurement method, which involves awarding the contract without prior publication due to it being below the threshold. The status of the tender is recorded as unsuccessful, with the award stage occurring on 23rd June 2026. All activities are covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), and the review body involved is the Sheriff Court located in Edinburgh.

While the tender was ultimately marked unsuccessful, opportunities still exist for businesses in the service sector, particularly those specialising in survey provision or estate management. Companies that demonstrate flexibility and innovation, especially those capable of navigating limited procurement methods, could significantly benefit from engaging in such tenders. These types of contracts provide an avenue for businesses to align with public entities such as Crown Estate Scotland, potentially leading to future agreements or collaborations in similar or related services.
