Description

The City of Edinburgh Council is looking to gauge interest within the market in regard to proposed Transportation of Food Containers to other schools, nurseries, and lunch clubs within the Edinburgh catchment area. The purpose of this PIN is for Prior Information and market engagement purposes only and the Council may choose to competitively tender this opportunity at a later date. Lot 1: The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) has a statutory duty to provide a hot meal to those children entitled to a free meal.

The Council requires a single contractor to deliver the service and would like to gauge market interest in this opportunity to shape any ensuing route to market and determine organisation’s capacity and capability to provide such a service.
