The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 15 December 2020. The contract, valued at £20 million, will commence on 1 April 2021 and is expected to last until 31 March 2029, potentially including 4 additional one-year extension options at the discretion of the buyer. Prospective bidders must complete a specific Scottish Water PQQ document, as the ESPD format is not accepted, and the scope of the contract may be divided into lots. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises involved in ground investigation services, especially those experienced in clean and dirty water infrastructure projects. Businesses adept in providing pre-site, site, and post-site condition assessments, as well as contamination risk evaluations, would find this contract particularly suitable. Collaboration with delivery partners will also be crucial for successful bidders to meet project objectives. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: II.2.7 Instead of: Duration in months: 48 This contract is subject to renewal: yes Description of renewals: 4 x 1 year extension options.
