## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Scottish Water for "Economic Consultancy Services" aims to support their Business & Economics team starting in February 2022. This contract falls under the research and development consultancy services category and is located in Scotland. The tender is currently at the Award stage, with contracts recently signed on 25 April 2022. The procurement method employed is selective, specifically a negotiated procedure following a prior call for competition.
