UK pump rental supplier Selwood has been awarded a key framework position as a preferred provider of diesel and electric pumps to Scottish Water.

The four-year agreement, with a further extension option available, will see Selwood support Scottish Water’s Capital and Operational Delivery Programmes throughout Scotland.
Operating from branches in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Selwood’s specialist pump rental and solutions teams will provide pumps and ancillary equipment. They will also be on hand to provide support in the event of emergencies.
In a competitive tender process, Selwood was ranked in first place in two lots – one for the hire of diesel pumps, and the other for the hire of electric pumps.
John Lovell, Managing Director at Selwood Pump Rental Solutions, said:
“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Scottish Water with our appointment to this framework. This was a highly competitive tender process with an emphasis on best value, ability to deliver throughout Scotland, and water industry expertise. To be ranked first on both lots is recognition of our exceptional teams in Scotland and throughout the Selwood business.”
Selwood is the leading pump rental provider in the UK, operating from a network of branches in England, Scotland and Wales, and a framework supplier to many of the major water companies.
