The planned duration for the contract is 36 months, with potential for extension. Although the tender was initially active, the most recent update indicates it was cancelled during the award process. The opportunity, initially supervised by Lothian Health Board, was to be conducted via electronic submission on the Public Contracts Scotland platform, serviced by the Edinburgh-based organisation.

Businesses already possessing a robust health and safety policy, environmental management systems, and relevant technical and economic records could have been competitive candidates. Opportunities to fulfil community benefits were to be included, making the project particularly appealing to businesses eager to engage with and contribute to community and local development.
