## Summary

Scottish Water and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde are in the planning stage of a significant procurement process, which involves the provision of a private wire power purchase agreement aimed at supplying electricity to Shieldhall Wastewater Treatment Works and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. This initiative, classified under the electricity industry category (CPV code 09310000), is focused on a low carbon/renewable supply with an estimated total value of £60 million over ten years. Suppliers interested in participating in the pre-market engagement must express their interest by 4th July 2025. The full commissioning and operational readiness of the solution is anticipated by 1st January 2027. The contracting process is governed by the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, and the procurement is being collaboratively managed with advisory input from NHS National Services Scotland.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in renewable energy solutions, particularly those capable of supplying low carbon electricity via private wire infrastructure. It provides a platform for innovative energy providers to showcase their expertise in sustainable practices and implementation of private wire networks. Companies that are experienced in managing high-demand energy supplies and can ensure operational readiness with minimal transmission losses will find this a lucrative opportunity. The market consultation phase represents an excellent entry point for businesses looking to collaborate with major public institutions like Scottish Water and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, and offers the potential for substantial business growth through long-term contracts.

## Notice

The contracting authorities are exploring the potential procurement of a low carbon/renewable electricity supply under the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016. This supply must be delivered directly to Shieldhall WWTW and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, via a private wire connection, and meet specific technical and delivery requirements. In particular, the authority is seeking to understand the extent to which the market can provide: - A low carbon/renewable electricity supply of 37 GWh per annum for use at the authorities sites; - Delivery of that electricity via private wire infrastructure that does not rely on the public electricity grid; - Full commissioning and operational readiness of the solution by 1st January 2027 - Technical feasibility of locating generation infrastructure within the vicinity of the sites to enable a private wire connection that minimises transmission losses and aligns with planning and development timescales. This early market engagement exercise is intended to inform the authorities understanding of local market capability and to determine whether a competitive procurement procedure is appropriate. This PIN is not a call for competition but forms part of a preliminary market consultation. This market engagement is being conducted jointly between Scottish Water and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, with NHS National Services Scotland acting in an advisory capacity. The estimated total value is indicative over a 10-year period based on current prices and will be indexed over time.
