The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically aimed at local authorities to enhance the tracking of various non-network council assets such as ICT devices and wheelie bins. This open procedure is at the planning stage, with a bid submission deadline of 21 August 2019. The tender process is active and related to the location of Edinburgh, UK, with a total estimated value of £250,000. Interested parties should refer to the submission guidelines available on the Public Contracts Scotland website. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses focused on technological solutions, asset management, and auditing services. Companies specialising in innovative tech applications and those with experience in providing cost-effective tracking systems would be well-placed to compete for this contract. As local authorities aim to reduce financial risks associated with misplaced assets, suppliers that can offer efficient, reliable, and minimally invasive tracking technology will find promising avenues for business growth through this procurement. ## Notice Local Authorities have a multitude of assets in use ranging from ICT devices to wheelie bins. These each carry varying degrees and types of risk (financial, security, and reputational) if lost. Current manual audits and logging processes have proven insufficient and too expensive in accounting for these assets, particularly those that are not connected to a network.
