Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water is currently seeking bids for the provision of Road Coring Services on a pan-Scotland basis, focusing on geotechnical engineering services. The procurement process is presently in the Tender stage, with a closing date set for 1st July 2021. The estimated contract value is £520,000, and the successful bidder will be required to deliver both on-site coring services and laboratory testing of core samples. Bidders must have a location within or near the central belt region of Scotland and comply with specific technical and safety requirements. The awarded contract will initially span four years, with the possibility of extension for up to four additional one-year periods.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in geotechnical engineering and laboratory testing services. Companies with UKAS accreditation for sampling and testing activities will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The requirement for timely service provision and adherence to safety and quality regulations will appeal to experienced contractors looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector. As Scottish Water reserves the right to divide the scope into lots, this could allow for multiple businesses to secure contracts, thereby enhancing their market presence and supporting growth.
