## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council procured pre-construction services for the refurbishment of the former Granton Lighthouse Depot in Edinburgh. The project aims to create flexible spaces for artists, creative industry organisations and local residents. The appointed contractor is required to support the final pre-construction stages, working with the Council’s design team through RIBA Stage 4. This includes developing the project towards a final construction tender and supporting the Council’s decision on whether to proceed with the refurbishment works. The requirement is a professional construction and pre-construction service rather than the refurbishment works themselves. The wider project is located at the Granton Lighthouse Depot in Edinburgh and forms part of the Council’s public service and regeneration activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service Construction Works and Associated Services Framework, Lot 2.4 for Scotland. One lot was awarded to John Graham Construction Ltd. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 for £323,980.66 including the stated currency of GBP. The subsequent construction works were estimated at around £3.6 million, subject to internal approvals and successful completion of the pre-construction period; any construction-stage award would be made separately. Four bids were received, all submitted electronically. The award covered pre-construction services, with the evaluation conducted through the framework mini-competition route.

This opportunity indicates demand from the City of Edinburgh Council for contractors able to combine construction expertise with structured pre-construction support. A credible future supplier would need to work collaboratively with an appointed design team through RIBA Stage 4, develop coordinated information into a robust construction tender, and advise a public-sector client on whether and how to proceed into construction. Experience of refurbishment projects, particularly the conversion of existing buildings into flexible community, cultural or creative-use spaces, would be relevant. Suppliers would also need to operate through the appropriate construction framework route and manage supply-chain obligations, including prompt payment to subcontractors within 30 days, active monitoring of payment performance, and the provision of supporting evidence and reports to the Council.
