## Summary

The procurement process for the 'Edinburgh Castle Feeder Pillars' project is led by Historic Environment Scotland, located at Longmore House, Salisbury Place in Edinburgh. This tender falls under the 'works' industry category and was initiated as a selective procurement method, specifically through a restricted procedure.
