## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council's Business Growth and Inclusion department is initiating the procurement process for the "Redundancy Support Grants" under the procurement method of tender.

Companies are encouraged to tailor their proposals to address the specific needs highlighted in the procurement documents, ensuring alignment with the strategic priorities of the City of Edinburgh Council.
