## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is procuring wooden presentation seats and plaques for heritage sites in Edinburgh. The requirement is for the supply of wooden benches or presentation seats, together with plaques, for use at heritage locations across the city. It is a goods contract, with the main product category being benches (CPV 39113600). The work will involve supplying items rather than delivering construction or wider heritage services. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide suitable wooden presentation seating and associated plaques, with the specification and required standards set out in the tender documents. The Council is the buying organisation and the items are intended for heritage sites within the City of Edinburgh.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 23 September 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract is planned to run for 1,080 days, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. Its estimated value is £165,000. A single lot covers the supply of the seats and plaques, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is weighted 70% to price and 30% to quality. The scheduled bid opening and start of the award period were also 23 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic ordering and payment will be used, and the requirement is expected to recur in 2029.

This opportunity suits timber product manufacturers, joinery firms and specialist suppliers able to produce and supply durable wooden presentation seating and plaques for heritage settings. Craftsmen and operatives delivering the contract must hold City & Guilds Carpentry and Joinery, Bench Joinery SVQ or an equivalent qualification, and bidders must provide staff names and qualifications. Suppliers need employers’ liability insurance of £5 million, public liability insurance of £2 million and comprehensive motor vehicle insurance of £5 million. Financial requirements include general annual turnover of at least £66,000 in each of the last two financial years and a current ratio of 1.10 for both the current and prior year. They must also support 30-day subcontractor payments, pay delivery staff at least the real Living Wage, address emissions and comply with Edinburgh’s Low Emission Zone.
