## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed a procurement process for the rental of Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) to host the Tour de France Event in 2027. The process follows a limited procurement method due to the EICC being the only venue with adequate capacity in Edinburgh. The procurement was completed on the basis of technical reasons, with no prior publication of a call for competition, as the value falls below the threshold for Social and Specific Services according to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This contract was awarded on 12 February 2026, and it was valued at £264,970. The industry category of this contract falls under general public services with a classification code of 79950000, and the location is specified as Edinburgh, UK.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering large-scale event hosting solutions within the specified industry category. Despite the limited nature of the procurement method, businesses involved in event management or venue provision that can offer similar facilities as the EICC might find chances to strengthen their portfolio and reputation in complex logistical events. The successful awardee, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, demonstrates the advantage of having specialised infrastructure designed for high-capacity events, making similar venues well-suited to compete in future procurement processes of this nature.
