## Summary

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is procuring structural bench maintenance through an open tender process, with the invitation to submit bids ending on 23rd February 2021. This project involves over 150 benches across a 32-hectare area and aims to maintain these benches for a new contract period of three years, with a potential two-year extension. The existing supply contract is set to expire on 31st March 2021. Interested suppliers should note that submissions must adhere to the outlined requirements and that electronic bidding is accepted.

This opportunity creates substantial growth potential for SMEs and contractors specializing in maintenance and procurement of goods related to public outdoor furniture. Businesses capable of providing sustainable materials and demonstrating compliance with maintenance standards will be well-positioned to compete effectively. The total budget for this contract is £7,500, making it accessible for smaller enterprises aiming to expand their service offerings within the public sector.

## Notice

RBGE currently have 150+ benches located within various areas of the Edinburgh Garden covering an area of 32 Hectare. Each bench has an expected life span of 10 years. These benches form part of a commemorative scheme whereby visitors can pay for a memorial to loved ones for a period of ten years. The Edinburgh Garden now has reached capacity in the amount of benches it can accommodate. The existing supply contract expires on 31 March 2021. The new contract length will be for an initial 3 year period with optional 2 year extension. (5 Years in total - 31 March 2026) RBGE are looking to award a new contract for the structural maintenance of bought benches with the additional option to purchase individual benches (if the need arises). The repairs to the existing benches should reflect the use of the current material which is sustainably sourced oak.
