Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Temporary Toilets - Straiton Place Park" under the works category. This contract, aimed at installing temporary toilets, was executed through an open procedure and is associated with the Regional or Local Authority for general public services. The location for these works is within the UKM75 region, specifically at Straiton Place Park in Edinburgh. Although the tender process is complete, it serves as an illustrative case, managed by The City of Edinburgh Council, located at Waverley Court, Edinburgh. The contract was awarded on 1st April 2026 to Portakabin (Scotland) Ltd, for a total value of £120,000.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with expertise in providing temporary infrastructure solutions. Large companies like Portakabin (Scotland) Ltd can find growth opportunities in similar government projects, especially those structured under open procedures that invite competitive bidding. Companies looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts within the UK, notably in the Edinburgh area, are well-positioned to compete in such tenders, provided they meet procurement requirements and demonstrate robust competencies in delivering specialised temporary installations.
