Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh Leisure is procuring a four-year lighting works framework for multiple venues across Edinburgh. The requirement is primarily for internal lighting systems, including repairs, maintenance, upgrades, improvements and related works. The aim is to reduce energy use and costs while maintaining the continued availability of spare parts and extending the longevity of existing lighting installations. The framework may also be used by the City of Edinburgh Council where appropriate. It covers electrical installation and associated building works, including lighting equipment and sports facility works (CPV 45310000). Edinburgh Leisure is the buying organisation and the work will be delivered at venues in Edinburgh. Related lighting works may be included where this is possible, reasonable and practical.

The procurement reached tender: Edinburgh Leisure invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure, using electronic submission. It is a single-lot framework with a maximum of three participants. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 17 September 2026 at 17:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The framework contract period is four years, stated as 1,440 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission. The estimated total value is £1.5 million including the framework’s potential works. The framework is intended to cover future repairs, maintenance and upgrades, with electronic ordering and payment arrangements. Suppliers may not submit variants, and economic operators can be excluded under Regulations 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

This opportunity suits electrical contractors, lighting specialists and building-services firms able to deliver internal lighting repairs, planned maintenance, upgrades and installation works across multiple Edinburgh venues. Strong candidates will need practical capability in reducing energy consumption through lighting improvements, maintaining existing systems and sourcing or supporting the continued availability of spare parts. The work is suitable for suppliers with the operational capacity to respond to recurring requirements over a multi-venue framework rather than a single installation project. Experience managing varied repair and improvement works, coordinating site activity and delivering reliable services for public or leisure facilities would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to work electronically, provide bids in English and comply with Scottish procurement exclusion requirements.
