Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is conducting a procurement process for "Water and Waste Water Billing Services" under an open procedure, valued at £264 million. This framework agreement is intended for use by various public sector organisations in Scotland and is set to last for three years, with a potential one-year extension. The tender period for submissions ended on 24th September 2019, with the contract awarded on 16th January 2020. Delivery will occur across Scotland, and this initiative falls under the general public services category.

This opportunity is particularly advantageous for large enterprises with experience in providing utility billing services and those holding the necessary licences under the Water Services etc. (Scotland) Act 2005. Companies that can demonstrate strong financial stability and a robust quality management system will be well-equipped to compete. Additionally, organisations that prioritise community benefits and sustainable practices are likely to appeal to the Scottish Government's objectives and may have an edge in the selection process.
