Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured water and wastewater services through the Scottish Government Water and Waste Water Services Framework. The requirement covered regulated water supply and wastewater services delivered for the council in the Scottish Borders area. It was a framework call-off rather than a new standalone service specification, and the recorded requirement relates to the council’s cumulative use of the framework. The buying organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority based at Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells. The service category is water distribution and related services, classified under CPV 65100000. This opportunity is relevant to water companies and other providers able to supply public-sector water and wastewater services across the council’s estate and operational requirements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Scottish Borders Council called off from the Scottish Government Water and Waste Water Services Framework using an open procedure. Business Stream was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded for the requirement. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and is recorded as active. The contract value is £1,000,786.04. The spend period covered 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, representing the council’s regulated framework call-off spend for that 12-month period. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering cumulative spend under the framework. This was a contract award rather than an invitation to tender, so it does not represent a current request for bids.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for managed water and wastewater services from Scottish Borders Council, delivered through a government framework route. Suppliers well placed for comparable future requirements would be regulated water companies or specialist providers with the operational infrastructure, network capability and service capacity to support a council’s requirements across the Scottish Borders. Credibility would also depend on experience of framework call-offs, public-sector contract management, accurate consumption and spend reporting, and reliable delivery of essential services. The single recorded bid and selection of Business Stream show the importance of being positioned on the relevant framework and able to respond to a defined council requirement. Providers should be capable of handling substantial recurring service demand rather than one-off works.
