Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process titled "The Supply and Delivery of Gases," with a focus on providing various industrial and food-grade gases, such as Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Sulphur Dioxide, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Helium, to multiple sites and laboratories across Scotland. This procurement falls under the goods industry category and has a total estimated value of £2,500,000. The procurement is being conducted through a selective method involving a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, and the framework agreement allows a maximum of one participant. Potential suppliers should note this tender, which is documented under the legal basis of the EU Directive 2014/25/EU, is open until 5th August 2026, at 12:00 PM, and submissions must be made electronically in English.

This opportunity from Scottish Water presents significant growth potential for businesses involved in the supply and distribution of industrial and food-grade gases. Companies with experience in meeting rigorous safety, quality, and regulatory standards are particularly well-suited to compete, as the framework agreement requires compliance across various specifications and locations. Small and medium-sized enterprises, or larger firms with specialised capabilities in gas supply, could benefit from the potential security and stability offered by a long-term contract with a large utility provider like Scottish Water. The procurement's selective process demands that interested suppliers register and provide both electronic and written submissions, giving them the chance to demonstrate their technical and economic capabilities within the stipulated selection criteria.
