## Summary

The current procurement process is managed by Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission PLC (SHET) and focuses on the establishment of an Operational Technology Framework with several specific lots. This contract, entitled "FW Services - Operational Technology Framework," belongs to the IT services industry category, specifically consulting, software development, internet, and support. Located in the United Kingdom, the procurement process has advanced to the award stage with contracts pending finalisation as of 19 December 2025. The procurement uses a selective competitive flexible procedure under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The framework agreement will commence from 2 February 2026 and is set to run until 1 February 2029 with the potential for future renewals.

This framework provides substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in IT services related to operational technology, cyber security, infrastructure development, and data center management. With a comprehensive budget of £240 million allocated for multiple lots, the framework allows companies like Accenture, Amentum Clean Energy, and British Telecommunications, among others, to secure contracts through a Statement of Work ordering procedure. Given the focus on utility-specific consulting and support services, businesses with expertise in the energy sector and those capable of providing innovative solutions for substation environments, network services, and secure data storage are well-suited to thrive under this framework and contribute to the success of SHET's T3 programme.
