## Summary

Scottish Water, an organisation headquartered in Glasgow, United Kingdom, is actively progressing with the Ceramic Membrane Programme, focusing on wastewater treatment plant construction across Scotland. The procurement process, currently in the award stage, aims to appoint strategic partners to deliver Ceramic Membrane plants under a framework lasting from 2025 to March 2033, with extension possibilities up to March 2039. The programme is valued between £500,000,000 to £800,000,000. The procurement method involves a selective, negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, targeting industries related to construction and civil engineering. Businesses interested in this tender should note the procurement category of works, with key capabilities required in MEICA, Civil Construction, and Ceramic Membrane Product Supply. The award has recently been made to Ross-Shire Engineering Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for companies operating in the construction and civil engineering sectors, given their involvement in building state-of-the-art treatment plants across Scotland. Companies capable of acting as both Principal Contractor and Principal Designer will find this tender appealing due to the comprehensive scope of works required. This programme supports large-scale business operations, offering potential for businesses to expand their service offerings and establish themselves as key players in the Scottish infrastructure sector. The usage of Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards and potential integration into larger procurement frameworks, such as SR27 and SR33, further emphasises the long-term strategic growth potential for participating companies.

Scottish Water is seeking to appoint a strategic partner(s) to deliver Ceramic Membrane plants as part of the Ceramic Membrane Capital Investment Programme. The framework(s) will be awarded for 2025 until March 2033, with extension options, at client discretion based on business requirements, up to March 2039. Estimated programme value is in the range of 500,000,000 to 800,000,000 GBP (Based on current pricing). Find a Tender Service (FTS) ranges are based on 2023 project pricing and as such, Scottish Water reserves the right to index these values over the duration of the procurement. Scottish Water requires a range of supplier capabilities in order to deliver this programme, including MEICA, Civil Construction and Ceramic Membrane Product Suppliers. The appointed partner(s) will be required to have capabilities in all these areas or be able to demonstrate how they will acquire these skillsets. The supplier will have pan Scotland capability to deliver this programme. It is expected that the supplier can act as both Principal Contractor and Principal Designer in the delivery of this Programme. The Construction, Design and Management (CDM) 2015 Regulations will apply. Phase 1 will consist of the construction, commissioning and hand-over of Turriff Ceramic Membrane Water Treatment Works. For phase 2 onwards, should the partners appointed in this Ceramic Membrane Programme Procurement also be successful in their bid in Scottish Waters SR27 Supply Chain Procurement, then it is expected, at Scottish Waters Discretion, that this Frameworks commitments from a design, delivery and commercial perspective would then transfer into the SR27 supply chain. This may include (but not limited to) a Primary Designer, responsible in part for design activity; an Integrator, responsible for programme management and delivery of enterprise objectives; and a procured supplier ecosystem which will form based on programme / project needs. If SW choose to deliver phase 2 through the supply chain for SR27, the successful tenderer may be required to transpose the requirements and commitments of this framework into an NEC Alliance agreement as part of the SR27 supply chain. NOTE: Integration into the supply chain as described above will involve the successful tenderer only and may not include any subcontractors. Once integrated into the SR27 supply chain the successful tenderer will be required to utilise SW's procured partners for any subcontracted activity. The successful contractor(s) must comply with the mandatory use of Scottish Water's specialist frameworks including Infrastructure, Kits, Civils Materials and Hires. It is Scottish Water's intention that all Capital Investment projects will be delivered using Scottish Water's Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards. In response to this FTS publication applicants cannot submit an ITN response as a joint venture. Scottish Water also reserves the right to augment the supply chain during SR27 to support emerging SR33 needs. SR33 is the period from 1st April 2033 until 31st March 2039. To facilitate this, a mid-point review of the SR27 supply chain will be conducted in 2030 and the current supply chain capacity and capability will be assessed at this time to ensure business requirements will be met. Based on the outcome of the review, Scottish Water reserves the right to procure additional/alternative supply chain contractor partners, as required.

Renewal: Option to extend for a further 6 x 12 month periods, subject to the sole discretion of Scottish Water
