Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water is currently in the tender phase for a contract titled "Pressure Management Services," seeking a framework partner to collaborate in transformative network projects. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically in the repair and maintenance of valves, with a focus on pressure management and optimisation across Scotland. The procurement process is selective, utilising a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. Interested parties should note the tender closing date of 1st December 2025, at 12:00 PM. The framework contract is valued at £25,000,000 and is set to last for 2,880 days. The buying organisation's address is The Bridge, 6 Buchanan Gate, Stepps, Glasgow, and contact can be made through Paul Stewart at Scottish Water.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in water management, valve maintenance, and network optimisation. Companies that provide high-pressure pipeline services or those with experience in pressure reducing valve management would be well-suited to compete. As the procurement requires the framework partner to self-deliver the full scope of services, businesses with robust service delivery and project management capabilities stand to benefit. Additionally, as Scottish Water is seeking a long-term partner, companies looking to strengthen their foothold in the water services sector through a strategic partnership should consider participating in this tender.
