## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Scottish Water, involves the provision of Sludge Tankering Services, classified under the CPV code for sludge transport services. This tender, which has an estimated value of £29 million, is currently in the tender stage with submissions due by 28 September 2020. The contract is set to commence on 1 April 2021 and will run until 31 March 2029. The procurement method adopted is selective, employing a negotiated procedure, and the services will be required across Scotland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in waste management, logistics, or environmental services. Companies that can provide suitably sized tankering vehicles and have the capacity to handle both liquid water and wastewater sludge during emergencies or high demand will be well positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are also encouraged to participate, thereby promoting inclusivity in the procurement process and fostering growth within the industry.

## Notice

Scottish Water requires suppliers to provide a supplementary ad hoc tankering service for liquid water and waste water sludge during periods of high demand or during emergency incidents, and an on-demand septic tank emptying service for private customers. The tankering service will normally be from Scottish Water wastewater and water treatment plants to Scottish Water or PFI Sludge Treatment facilities. Septic tank emptying will take place on customers' properties, and therefore appropriately sized vehicles shall be required. The suppliers may be required to supply a self- drive suitably sized tankering vehicle to be driven by a Scottish Water driver on request. This procurement in split into 3 lots.
