Summary of the contracting process

Harbour Homes Scotland Limited, through its subsidiary Harbour Multi Trades, intends to establish a long-term strategic partnership covering materials supply, stores management, van stock management, waste management, depot and logistics support, and digital integration and innovation with its current system. The services are intended to support Harbour Multi Trades’ operations. Delivery is across Edinburgh and the Lothians. This is a broad operational services requirement combining supply-chain and depot support with waste services and digital capability, so it may be relevant to suppliers able to provide one or more of these functions, or to coordinate them through a partnership.

The procurement is at planning stage: the buyer is seeking market feedback to help shape the future procurement, not inviting tenders. The buyer indicates that it expects to publish a further notice on 1 April 2027. The stated estimated value is £1.8 million. The planned arrangement is described as a long-term strategic partnership, but no formal procurement procedure or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage. The requirement is presented as one lot. Harbour Multi Trades is particularly seeking views on the proposed scope and additional detail, and is interested in identifying potential suppliers across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Businesses can contribute feedback through the buyer’s questions platform or by email to its managing director.

This planning exercise is most relevant to suppliers with experience in materials supply, stores and inventory management, van stock management, waste management, depot operations or logistics, as well as firms able to deliver digital integration and service innovation. The buyer is looking to explore the market for potential partners and to shape procurement of a critical operational service, so providers with the capacity to support a long-term relationship and work across several service areas may be well placed to contribute. Specialists in individual areas may also have useful input on the proposed scope. The buyer specifically welcomes feedback and additional detail from interested organisations, giving prospective suppliers a chance to inform how the eventual requirement is developed.
