## Summary

Scottish Water is in the planning stage of a procurement process for appointing a Primary Designer under the tender ID SW24/CON/1481, titled "Delivery Vehicle 4 Primary Designer". The procurement is aimed at the engineering design services industry, classified under CPV 71320000, and will take place in Glasgow, Scotland (UKM region). Interested parties are encouraged to request informal discussions with Scottish Water’s Procurement and Supply Chain function during August and September 2024, with a deadline to book a slot by 5pm on 11th September 2024. A Market Day is scheduled for 24th October 2024 at the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow, beginning at 9am. Companies wishing to attend must confirm their details by 5pm on 10th October 2024. The procurement is set to officially start in September 2025 and will be conducted under the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in engineering and civil design consultancy, as well as companies capable of operating under an Enterprise model and delivering outcome-focused solutions. The anticipated contract spans 13 years with an estimated net value between £500 million and £870 million. Scottish Water seeks single entity bidders rather than consortiums or joint ventures. Companies strong in collaboration, efficiency, standardisation, and innovation will find this tender particularly appealing, given the need for integrated teamwork to meet strategic goals like Beyond Net Zero and Financial Sustainability. Businesses with appropriate financial and economic standing are especially well-suited to compete for this contract, promising substantial growth and long-term partnership with Scottish Water.
