## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Historic Environment Scotland, involves the tender for "Retail Packaging for HES Outlets" as part of the goods category in the conservation industry. Located in Edinburgh, this tender has passed the active stage and has recently been completed, with all relevant documents available for review. The open procedure procurement method invited bids from various suppliers and required submissions by 29th June 2018, following which the award was made to Macfarlane Group UK Ltd on 10th December 2018 for a contract valued at £181,132. The packaging, including customised long-life carrier bags and potentially other items, must comply with specific environmental criteria, suitable for both adult and child visitors to HES retail outlets across Scotland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in sustainable packaging production, particularly those specialising in eco-friendly and recycled materials. Companies with expertise in the design and manufacturing of retail packaging, capable of meeting sustainability standards and custom branding requirements, would be well-suited to compete. In addition, firms focusing on conservation-related products and services may find potential collaborative opportunities with Historic Environment Scotland as they continue to manage and promote Scotland's historic environment. With increasing emphasis on sustainability, businesses positioned in this space stand to benefit from heightened demand for compliant and responsible products.
