## Summary

The National Library of Scotland, located at George IV Bridge in Edinburgh, is planning a tender for the re-let of its recurring Facilities Management Hard Services Contract for 2021/22. This procurement falls under the services category and has a total estimated value of £7 million. As part of the planning stage, the Library has published a prior information notice (PIN), indicating that a prior procurement process was postponed due to COVID-19. Interested businesses should note that key future communications regarding this contract are expected by 30th June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), looking to offer facilities management services. The contract is divided into two lots: Lot 1 focuses on Hard Services while Lot 2 covers Specialist Services and Small Works. Companies involved in general maintenance, repairs, and soft FM services such as cleaning and landscaping would be well-suited to compete for these contracts, enabling growth through public sector engagement.
