## Summary

The procurement process titled "Award of Mini Competition - Purchase & Refurbishment of Communal Bins" is initiated by The City of Edinburgh Council, located in Edinburgh, and falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on waste and rubbish containers and bins. The tender process commenced on 22 March 2021 and is set to conclude on 21 March 2023, with options for extension for up to two additional 12-month periods. This multi-lot contract involves a mini-competition for suppliers listed in the relevant SXL Framework for Recycle and Refuse Containers, with a total value of £3,000,000 aimed at enhancing communal waste and recycling facilities.
