Scottish Water seeks suppliers for multi-supplier framework
Suppliers targeting water and wastewater asset delivery can position for upcoming call-offs across three framework lots covering automation, systems integration, and maintenance.
Scottish Water is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for Motor Control Centres, Instrumentation, Control and Automation, Systems Integration, and maintenance and support services. The framework is divided into three lots covering integrated solutions, systems integration, and maintenance. Call-off contracts may be awarded by direct award or mini-competition using NEC4 terms. Suppliers must maintain relevant certifications and support obligations under the Network and Information Systems Regulations.
Suppliers offering electrical, control, automation, and operational technology capabilities may find positioning on the framework advantageous for accessing water and wastewater asset requirements. Firms may need to ensure their motor control centre assemblies comply with the BS EN IEC 61439 series and prepare for operational technology cyber security obligations.
