## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is preparing to re-tender for the "Provision of the Supply and/or Delivery of Trade Material Commodities and Associated Services." This contract, valued at £70 million, is classified under the general public services category and will require the selected supplier to operate within the City of Edinburgh area. Currently in the planning stage, interested parties are invited to meet with the Project Team on 6th August 2018 to discuss the procurement strategy ahead of the contract award expected in autumn 2019, lasting seven years with a possible three-year extension.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in supplying trade materials and associated services, particularly those that can demonstrate a full range of products, as the Council is only considering single suppliers or consortiums. Companies that engage in construction, supply chain logistics, or related fields would be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract. The invitation to interact with the Project Team offers a chance for businesses to understand procurement requirements and align their proposals effectively with the Council's needs.

## Notice

The City of Edinburgh Council will shortly commence the re-tender for a single partner for the Provision of Supply and/or Delivery of Trade Material Commodities and Associated Services and is inviting you to come and meet with the Project Team to discuss this potential opportunity and support the development of the procurement strategy.
