## Summary

The procurement process entails the establishment of a Construction Framework by East Lothian Council, aimed at inviting suitable organisations to submit tenders for various construction projects. This includes traditional and design & build works for educational, community, commercial, office, and infrastructure buildings located in East Lothian, UK. The tender is currently in the Planning stage, with a submission deadline of 16 April 2021. A total budget of £18 million is designated for multiple value lots, and participants are expected to respond electronically.
