Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, seeks to provide professional services, specifically economic, legal, and regulatory advice, to support its strategic objectives as outlined in its Corporate Plan. The contract has a total value of £4 million and falls under the "services" industry category. Currently, it is at the Award stage, with the awarded contract signed on 18th May 2021, indicating an active status. The procurement was carried out using an open procedure method, and the expected contract duration is three years, with potential renewal options.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly in the fields of economic and legal consulting, as it focuses on advisory services connected to corporate objectives.
