Scottish Water has awarded contracts with an estimated potential value of £360 million appointing the Tier 1 Delivery Partners for its Quality and Standards IV (Q&SIV) non-infrastructure capital investment programme for the regulatory period 2015 to 2021.
Scottish Water wishes to engage with interested parties who have a dual civil engineering and mechanical and electrical capability including off site manufacturing with the main thrust of interest being on Mechanical and Electrical capability.
The estimated value of work to be undertaken by the Tier 1 Delivery Partners is £30 million per annum. It is anticipated that the work allocated under the framework will be reflective of the in house capability of the incumbent Alliance partner.
Work will be issued to the tier 1 supply chain within the financial year commencing April 2016 with the value of work awarded to the tier 1 supply chain set to ramp up during the financial year commencing April 2017. Award of work will be dependent on the delivery capacity and capabilities of the appointed Delivery Partners and will complement the capacity and capability of Scottish Waters Rural Supply Chain.
