Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water is procuring a framework for the supply and delivery of industrial and food-grade gases to its sites and laboratories across Scotland. The requirement covers carbon dioxide, argon, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen and helium, supporting Scottish Water’s operational requirements. Suppliers will be responsible for delivering the gases to various geographical locations and laboratory facilities. The procurement is for goods, specifically gases (CPV 24100000), rather than installation, consultancy or construction work. The framework is intended to support multiple Scottish Water locations, so relevant suppliers should be able to coordinate deliveries across Scotland and meet the differing requirements of operational sites and laboratories.

The procurement reached tender: Scottish Water invited offers through a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. It is a framework agreement with a maximum of one participant. The estimated total value is £2,500,000, and the contract duration is 2,880 days. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 9 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, following an amendment to the earlier 5 August deadline. Offers must be submitted in English, electronically or in writing, and variants are not allowed. The process uses a two-candidate second stage, with exactly two candidates to be invited. Economic and technical selection criteria apply, with further requirements set out in the procurement documents. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, while electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits established gas suppliers with the product range and distribution capability to provide carbon dioxide, argon, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen and helium in both industrial and food-grade forms. Suppliers should be able to serve multiple Scottish Water sites and laboratories across Scotland over a long-term framework, requiring dependable logistics, stock management and delivery coordination. The requirement also suits businesses able to demonstrate compliance with relevant safety, quality and regulatory standards for the gases supplied and transported. Technical and economic selection criteria will apply, so bidders should be prepared to evidence both their technical capability and commercial capacity. Suppliers must be able to work with electronic ordering and payment arrangements and submit in English.
