## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a public procurement process titled "CivTech 4.0 - Challenge 5," aimed at tackling the lack of property factoring for historic tenements in Edinburgh. This initiative, categorized under general public services, is currently in the award stage following an open procurement method. The contract's effective signing date was on 30 April 2020, with a total value of £93,525. The delivery location for solutions is specified as Codebase, 38 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH3 9DZ. Additional documentation and further details can be found in the contract notice.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the technology sector, particularly those focusing on property management and community solutions. Businesses specialising in digital applications that facilitate communal property condition management and repair coordination are well-positioned to compete. Given the emphasis on innovative technology solutions in the brief, firms that can demonstrate effective technological approaches to address communal repairs in mixed tenure residential buildings will find a conducive environment to grow their business.

## Notice

A lack of Property factoring of historic Tenements in Edinburgh leaves Tenement owners left to manage their own common repairs using the process outlined by the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004. Local Authorities have no powers under this legislation to compel action and it can be difficult for the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) as a landlord to carry out repairs to its homes in mixed tenure blocks without the agreement of other owners. How can we use technology to manage the property condition of communal areas in privately owned tenements?
