## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has successfully completed the procurement of a Framework Agreement for Clerk of Works services to support its capital construction projects, valued at £5,000,000. This initiative covers both residential and non-residential construction, including housing, education, and leisure facilities, aimed at enhancing community infrastructure. The process followed an open procedure, anchored in public transparency and competition, concluding with the award on 15th June 2026. The procurement is part of the Council's commitment to sustainable development and quality assurance through rigorous site inspections, particularly in mechanical, engineering, and fire safety components.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large-scale construction and consultancy firms specialising in Clerk of Works services, as it requires entities experienced in quality assurance across a range of construction projects. The agreement is designed to accommodate five participants, offering companies a pathway to long-term collaboration with the Council. The procurement environment is ideal for businesses with a robust financial standing, as indicated by the need for a minimum annual turnover of £800,000. The framework will potentially involve future recurrent opportunities, scheduled for 2029, thereby providing additional chances for eligible firms to engage and expand their footprint in public sector construction projects.
