## Summary

The National Trust for Scotland is inviting tenders for the supply of hot drinks, associated equipment, and services under a selective procurement process. This restricted procedure seeks qualified providers to cater to their locations across Scotland, requiring delivery to places in and around Edinburgh. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category, with a focus on conservation and heritage. Interested parties must submit electronic proposals via the designated submission portal by 8th August 2025.

Businesses experienced in serving large-scale contracts and managing complex supply networks will be well-suited for this opportunity. The inclusion of various CPV codes such as coffee machines and training services emphasises the demand for diverse offerings, encouraging participation from specialised service providers. The framework agreement will support the development of long-term business relationships with a strategic focus on conservation and heritage sites.
