### Lot Information

Lot 1

The City of Edinburgh Council launched its current discount card in 2016 to offer discounts to its 20,000 tenants in order to reduce their daily living expenses. The card was launched in partnership with one supplier and is limited to DIY goods and services only. The Council would like to expand these discounts to a wide range of local goods and services across the city. It is envisaged that a partner organisation with the necessary experience and expertise will expand the discount card scheme in collaboration with Council tenants and potential providers of goods and services.
