Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Canals is seeking a contractor to maintain hydraulic hose assemblies and associated fittings on its fixed canal assets. The work includes surveying and specifying assemblies, replacing and testing them, and identifying, recording and disposing of them. Its purpose is to support the safe, reliable and environmentally responsible operation of hydraulic assets across the Scottish Canals estate. This is a specialist hydraulic hose maintenance service (CPV 50530000). The buyer is Scottish Canals, and delivery is across its estate in Scotland. The requirement is presented as one contract covering the described maintenance service.

Scottish Canals invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement reached the tender stage; bids were to be submitted electronically, and the buyer set the submission deadline as 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The stated estimated value is £180,000. The contract period is 1,440 days, with an optional 48-month extension. There is one lot. The notice identifies a technical selection criteria document, while the procurement description directs suppliers to the ITT for the detailed requirements. Variants are not allowed. The stated award period starts at the submission deadline. The procurement is covered by the GPA. The published information does not state an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This opportunity is best suited to an experienced hydraulic maintenance contractor able to work on fixed canal assets. The successful supplier must be capable of surveying and specifying hydraulic flexible hose assemblies and associated fittings, carrying out replacements and tests, and maintaining accurate identification and records. It must also handle disposal responsibly and support safe, reliable operation of hydraulic equipment across a canal estate. The scope calls for coordinated delivery across multiple assets rather than a single replacement task, so suppliers should be equipped to provide a sustained maintenance service over the contract period and any agreed extension. The ITT is the source for the detailed technical requirements; the notice itself does not set out particular accreditations, minimum staffing levels or named equipment requirements.
