## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council, together with various partners, has initiated a tender process to establish a Professional Services Framework Agreement focusing on construction-related professional services. The framework, which encompasses services such as project management, building surveying, quantity surveying, architectural design for both residential and non-residential projects, civil and structural engineering, and fire engineering among others, is aimed at serving various projects within the UKM region. The procurement process is currently in the tender update stage, with key dates including the deadline for submission of tenders by 29 April 2025 at 12:00 PM and the estimated date for dispatch of invitations to tender by 16 June 2025.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in the relevant construction and engineering disciplines. By participating, businesses can secure a place within a multi-million-pound framework agreement valued at £115 million, designed to span over four years. This presents a robust opportunity for growth through long-term projects and collaborations with The City of Edinburgh Council and its partners. Companies with strong expertise in areas such as project and cost management, comprehensive surveying, and multi-disciplinary design will find this framework particularly beneficial. The diverse set of required services enables a broad range of businesses, from large engineering consultancies to specialized architectural firms, to compete for a spot within this collaborative framework.
