This is a goods supply contract for businesses able to manufacture, source and deliver made-to-order or standard wooden seating and commemorative plaques for heritage settings. The requirement is classified under CPV 39113600, covering benches and seats. The Council is the buying organisation and the items will be supplied for use at heritage sites in the City of Edinburgh. The contract also involves electronic ordering and payment, with delivery supported by a supply chain that can meet the Council’s social, environmental and operational requirements. Community benefits may be agreed between the successful supplier and the Council where applicable. The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is one lot. Bids were due by 23 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids opened at that time, and evaluation scheduled to begin then. The estimated value is £165,000 excluding any applicable tax. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. Evaluation is based on price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%; variants are not allowed. The tender recurs in 2029. Selection requires employers’ liability insurance of £5 million, public liability insurance of £2 million, comprehensive motor insurance of £5 million, annual general turnover of at least £66,000 in each of the last two financial years, and a current ratio of 1.10 for both years. This opportunity suits joinery manufacturers, specialist furniture suppliers and contractors able to produce or procure durable wooden presentation seats and plaques for heritage locations. Bidders need suitably qualified craftsmen or operatives, with City & Guilds Carpentry and Joinery, Bench Joinery SVQ or an equivalent qualification. The supplier must name the staff and qualifications proposed for delivery. Strong supply-chain management is important: subcontractors must be paid within 30 days, payment performance monitored and evidence supplied when requested. Staff, including agency and subcontracted workers, must receive at least the real Living Wage. Suppliers must demonstrate action on climate change and commit to Edinburgh’s Low Emission Zone requirements. The requirement also supports community benefits agreed with the Council where applicable, so bidders with established responsible-procurement practices are well placed. ## Notice Purchase of wooden presentation seats and plaques for heritage sites in the City of Edinburgh. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Supply of wooden presentation seats and plaques for heritage sites in the City of Edinburgh.
