The organisations are
- Bilfinger Construction UK Ltd
- Carillion Utility Services Limited
- City of Edinburgh Council
- DLA Piper Scotland LLP

A revised list of issues that the inquiry will consider as part of its programme of work, including communication and the consequences for local communities, will also be published following consultation with the public.
