## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by The City of Edinburgh Council, focuses on engaging external specialist services for non-domestic rates, under an open procedure method. This service falls within the general public services category and covers Edinburgh, with the contract awarded to Newmark Gerald Eve LLP, a large-scale supplier.

The procurement covers ratings assessments and associated services within the region UKM75, having reached the award and contract stage as of 26th February 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for companies specialising in estate management services and non-domestic rates assessments.

Therefore, businesses with robust financial management practices and a willingness to comply with these stipulations can take advantage of such opportunities to expand their reach within the public sector.
