## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is initiating a tender process for the "Maintenance of Civic Clocks," which entails the upkeep of 38 civic clocks across Edinburgh, requiring a contract for maintenance and emergency repairs. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with an expected future notice date set for 30 October 2017. Interested suppliers must express their interest by 5:00 PM on 27 October 2017. The estimated value of the contract is £130,000, and it falls under the services category.

This procurement opportunity could enhance business growth for companies specialising in public infrastructure maintenance, especially those with capabilities in clock repair and general municipal services. Businesses equipped to handle emergency call-outs and those with experience in similar civic projects would be particularly advantageous in competing for this six-year contract. Engaging with this tender not only opens up avenues for long-term contracts but also aligns with the broader public service initiatives of local authorities.
