## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is planning a procurement process titled "Edinburgh Tram - York Place to Newhaven - Market Research." This initiative falls under the works industry category and is designed to assess the market for the upcoming extension of the Edinburgh Tram line. The planned procurement will take place in Edinburgh, with future notices expected on 28th July 2017. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest and participate in the market research, which is pivotal for finalising the council's procurement strategy.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the construction and transportation sectors, specifically those with experience in light railway construction and the supply of light rail systems. Companies engaged in engineering, project management, and infrastructure development will find this market research particularly relevant. Engaging in this procurement process can help such businesses position themselves favourably for future contracts, as the design and build contract is anticipated to be advertised later in 2017, contingent upon necessary approvals.
