Coverage: 280 active published awards; 276 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The City of Edinburgh Council’s in-house legal team provides advice and support on all legal matters relating to the Council.

The Council wishes to appoint a number of suitably qualified and experienced law firms (“Service Providers”) to a six lot Framework Agreement to carry out legal services for the City of Edinburgh Council and other named Scottish local authorities. The type and volume of advice required may fluctuate during the period of the Contract.
