## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has initiated an open tender for a Framework Agreement aimed at establishing reliable taxi services over a four-year period. This procurement process, valued at £2,570,000, falls under the services category within the education sector, specifically at location UKM75 (Edinburgh). The tender invites electronic submissions via Public Contracts Scotland with a closing submission deadline set for 18 May 2026 at noon, following which the award period will commence. Overseen by the buyer, University Of Edinburgh, the tender process is currently active, and business entities are encouraged to engage swiftly to meet the deadline.
