## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is in the planning stage for a procurement process concerning the supply, installation, and maintenance of evacuation chairs necessary for safely assisting mobility-impaired individuals during emergencies. This process is categorised under 'services' within the education sector and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The tender, titled "Evacuation Chairs Supply, Maintenance and Training," will likely see tender documentation issued by 20 April 2020, with initial announcements already made. Interested parties should prepare for the eventual release of tender documents on the Public Contracts Scotland-Tender platform.

This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment, emergency services, and related training.
