Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water has successfully completed a procurement process for "Fabrication Services" under the category of fabrication work. The procurement was conducted via a negotiated procedure without a prior call for competition, as per the regulatory guidance under the Utility Regs 2016, due to insufficient suitable tenders for low-emission structural steel. This contract, valued at £2,000,000 GBP, focuses on works within the region of the United Kingdom, specifically at locations in the UKM area, and was awarded to HESCOTT ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED. The award was finalised on 17th December 2025, marking the end of this procurement stage, and the contract is currently active.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the fabrication industry, particularly those able to navigate direct negotiation procedures. Companies that specialise in delivering specialised or bespoke fabrication solutions may find opportunities to align their services with such procurement needs. The limited procurement method used in this tender suggests a market for highly specialised services that can address unique challenges, which is beneficial for SMEs looking for opportunities to leverage niche skills or innovations within the water industry sector. The contract also provides a pathway for businesses to establish or strengthen their relationships with important public entities like Scottish Water.
