Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water initiated a procurement process titled "Fabrication Services" under a limited procurement method without prior publication due to a lack of viable competition for the Supply Of Low Emission Structural Steel. The procurement was categorised under CPV code 45255400, focusing on fabrication work within the works industry category. The contract was awarded to Hescott Engineering Company Limited, located in Falkirk, UKM region. Although the lot associated with this procurement was ultimately cancelled, the award remains active as of the signing date, 19th February 2026. The procurement falls outside the scope of a directive regulation as explained by Scottish Water, based in Glasgow.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in fabrication work, particularly those based in or near the UKM region. By securing contracts like this, businesses can expand their portfolio and visibility with major industry players like Scottish Water. Since the tender process bypassed the traditional competitive procedure, this could be particularly appealing for businesses struggling with competition in open market tenders. The involvement of Scottish Water ensures stability and reliability, as they are a well-regarded institution in the water industry, representing a valuable partnership for potential suppliers.
