## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council procured one-off consultancy services to support a refreshed business case, under the heading Governance Support. The work falls within professional governance and consultancy services and is intended for the Council’s requirements in Edinburgh. The procurement was made through the National LGPS Frameworks for Actuarial, Benefits and Governance Consultancy Services 2026. The requirement covered a single package of work rather than separate service areas. The relevant classification is CPV 66523000, covering actuarial and related consultancy services. The buyer is a large local authority, so the opportunity is relevant to consultancies experienced in advising public bodies on governance arrangements, business cases and related decision-making.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used an open procedure and was run as an open competition. PricewaterhouseCoopers was selected for the single requirement. The contract is valued at £54,818 and was signed on 12 August 2026; its recorded status is active. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and the available procurement record does not state a separate quality or price weighting. The contract includes a mandatory prompt-payment clause requiring supply-chain subcontractors to be paid within 30 days, with a named point of contact for payment difficulties. The supplier must actively monitor payment performance and provide supporting evidence and reports to the Council when requested or at scheduled contractual points.

This award indicates demand from Edinburgh City Council for specialist governance consultancy linked to the development or refresh of public-sector business cases, delivered through a national LGPS framework. A credible competitor for similar work would need a strong public-sector advisory practice, with the expertise to review governance arrangements, shape business-case material and provide clear, defensible advice to a local authority. Framework access and experience of working within its terms would be important. Suppliers should also be able to manage delivery through a supply chain, enforce prompt payment to subcontractors within 30 days, monitor payment performance and produce evidence and reports for the Council when required. The single-bid outcome suggests a focused specialist market.
