Scottish Water is currently in the tender stage of procuring recruitment agency services under a Managed Service Programme. This procurement process, identified by tender ID SW25/PS&S/1503, is classified under CPV 79600000 for recruitment services within the services industry category. It is being conducted through a selective, negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The tender involves fulfilling Scottish Water’s agency worker needs, managing these workers, sourcing candidates for permanent recruitment in specific circumstances, and managing sub-agencies. Located in Glasgow, United Kingdom (region UKM), potential suppliers are required to submit electronically, with final submissions due by 2nd June 2025. This procurement is valued at £150 million and spans a contract period of 2880 days.

This tender presents an exceptional opportunity for businesses that specialise in recruitment services, allowing them to secure an extensive contract with a prominent utility organisation. Businesses with a strong track record in managing contingent labour, particularly within complex, multi-discipline environments, stand to benefit significantly. Additionally, companies capable of offering innovative recruitment solutions to manage and fulfil contingent workforce requirements, and those prepared to collaborate with Scottish Water’s strategic delivery partners on capital investment programmes, would be well-suited to compete. The scope of services provides ample opportunity for scaling operations and fostering long-term collaboration with a major public sector entity.
