Scottish Water is planning an accelerated, nationwide rollout of AMI smart metering for our
non-household customers from 2026-2032, subject to final business case approval. This
initiative follows a successful pilot with approximately 3,000 business customers in Inverness
and Orkney.

The primary driver is to achieve a sustainable demand reduction of 80 million litres per day
(80MLd) through a combination of customer and network side interventions.
This programme will involve full replacement of the existing mechanical meter estate. It is
planned that Implementation will be prioritised based on water deficit areas to maximise impact,
with installations beginning early 2026.

This framework will support the nationwide rollout of AMI smart metering for our non-household
customers, the scope of which includes:
• Smart water meters for non-household customers
• Supporting Headend systems
• Communication networks
• Overall service management and front-line support

Scottish Water will also require a Meter Data Management System (MDMS), which will be
procured separately, but must integrate with the solution provided through this procurement.
Installation services are not included in the scope of this procurement.
It is expected that the successful Bidder will supply smart water meters, headend system/s and
communication networks to fulfil the requirements of the rollout. Given Scotland’s diverse
geography and challenging conditions, it is anticipated that a mixed network provision will be
required to achieve maximum connectivity. Bidders will likely need to form a consortium of
partners through subcontracting arrangements to deliver the full spectrum of solutions, but we
will require a lead bidder. Additional information: To access this opportunity, please register using the following link . https://atamis-scottishwater.my.salesforce-sites.com/ProSpend__CS_PublicLandingPage?SearchType=Projects

description: This procurement is to appoint a contractor for the Modelling of Ambient Air Quality for assessment of air quality and reporting compliance with air quality limit values, critical levels, target values and long-term objectives under the AQSR.Modelling of Ambient Air Quality contract is a key part of the evidence base to deliver the annual assessment and reporting of compliance. The UK uses a combination of measurement and modelling data within the annual air quality assessments required for assessing compliance with the AQSR, which must be published by the end of September each year. This has a number of benefits including a reduction in the cost burden for measurements, providing a more complete assessment and providing policy relevant information for air quality management including source apportionment (linking concentrations with specific sources). The use of models for annual compliance reporting also provides a consistent framework within which projections of future air quality, under current policies or policy option scenarios, can be explored in a cost-effective manner.

description:
This framework agreement is offered on behalf of the UK Higher and Further Education Sector. The sector currently has access to a variety of Defined Benefit schemes and some institutions have existing DC Scheme provision. Engagement with the sector in scoping the agreement indicated interest in a centrally procured solution from 50 institutions.  10 have an immediate requirement to implement this within the first 12 months.  The other interested institutions indicated varying degrees of readiness to implement the scheme throughout the stated duration of the agreement.  Participating institutions are seeking value for money through a centralised procurement which leverages economies of scale.  This is best achieved through a contract duration that facilitates scheme participation by all interested institutions,  maximising assets and offering stability to the appointed provider to deliver competitive rates for the sector.  The agreement duration recognises this and the lengthy governance and implementation processes that accompany the implementation of a DC Scheme in the sector. Lots 2 and 3 are complementary provisions to support the implementation of a Defined Contribution scheme within the sector and, as such, should be co-terminus.  As value for money is a driver of the procurement, the Authority reserves the right to review the competitiveness of the scheme in any decision to extend.
The following organisations have committed to this procurement and intend to utilise the Framework Agreement as soon as possible after award.  As such, the members and their wholly owned subsidiaries of the following Consortia may wish to utilise the Agreement and should have access at any point:

At some point during the life of the Framework Agreement, higher education providers registered by the Office for Students at the following link (OfS Register) may wish to utilise the Agreement and should have access at any point with the permission of NWUPC.

Within the Cardiff and Vale Health Board sits the Clinical Diagnostics and Therapeutics Clinical Board that consists of seven directorates which provide a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures on a local, national and UK-wide basis. These core services collectively underpin and are the core components of almost every aspect of clinical activity undertaken within the Health Board.
There are four directorates within CD&T that are wanting to procure a quality management software so to standardise their software across the board. This would include Laboratory Medical department, Clinical Haematology Department, Radiology and Medical Physics. By using this software across the board, it will create a standardisation allowing the CD&T board to access their quality management software on one portal.
Whilst there is a route to market via a framework through a Direct Award, the Health Board would be restricted to a 3 year contract. After negotiating with the supplier during the market research, the Health Board was able to commit to a 5 year contract, allowing a further cost avoidance overall.

procurementMethodRationale: To ensure regulatory compliance, it is required for Cardiff and Vale's data to be move to a cloud based solution. The Health Board's compliance hinges on having a robust system for capturing all information required to retain regulatory accreditation. Uploading the historic information to a new platform would not be feasible and puts the Health Board as risk.

title: Regulatory Assurance

description:
Context
This involves the assurance of Scottish Water's medium-term (SR27) business plan, covering the period from 2027 to 2033. The business plan will set out Scottish Waters investment plans together with the outcomes that we propose to deliver for our customers, communities and the environment, as well as the underlying evidence that we have prepared to support those plans. The information in Scottish Water's business plan submission will be used by the Water Industry Commission Scotland (WICS), Scottish Water's independent economic regulator, in the preparation of its Final Determination. While the business plan is Scottish Water's plan, WICS need to have confidence in the integrity of the data and commentary within it. If WICS have concerns over the impartiality or quality of the assurance report, this would undermine / reduce the value of the assurance to Scottish Water. Therefore, it is essential that the third-party assurance undertaken on the plan is completely impartial.
The timelines for when the assurance work is required is between March and May 2025 for the draft business plan and between October and February 2026 for the final business plan. These dates are fixed due to the submission dates set out by WICS for both plans.
Areas which require assurance are:
• Draft and Final Business Plan Data tables, in particular examining whether Scottish Water has prepared these in line both the business plan guidance and definitions set out by WICS and that they are fully consistent with the accompanying commentary prepared by Scottish Water;
• Review of the robustness of the systems and processes used to produce the information;
• Identification of the key assumptions made by Scottish Water in preparing its data tables and review of the reasonableness and materiality of those assumptions; and
• Assurance of the accuracy, completeness and comprehensiveness of the data.
In addition, Scottish Water requires that its independent assurer:
• Is able to demonstrate that it is free from any conflicts of interest and/or that where any actual or perceived conflicts of interest may arise as a result of its appointment, that the assurer can put in place measures/arrangements to manage those conflicts of interest for the duration of the appointment;
• Is able to demonstrate the impartiality of its approach to the assurance of the business plan;
• Provides timely efficient feedback on the Draft Business plan to allow Scottish Water to make improvements in its data, evidence and/or processes ahead of the Final Business plan submission;
• Provide draft and final assurance reports to both Scottish Water and Water Industry Commission Scotland (WICS), setting out both the work that has been undertaken, any factors which prevented and/or impeded the assurer from undertaking its role as it might reasonably have expected, and the assurer's findings.
In addition to the above matters, there will be a requirement to engage directly with external stakeholders, including the WICS, to respond to questions on the draft and final assurance reports, including providing further explanation of the assurer's work, findings and/or other matters arising within the terms of reference of their appointment, as is reasonably required.
In order to facilitate the assurer in its role, Scottish Water shall grant the assurors any necessary and timely access to premises, assets, systems, data, working papers, other records and relevant personnel associated with the carrying out of Scottish Water's regulated activities. Scottish Water shall supply the assurors with any information relevant to the assurance process including all material assumptions underpinning the data submission as well as access between the assurors and the financial auditors.
Scottish Water shall not be required to do anything which is outside their control, or to do, or allow the assurors to do, anything which would materially disrupt Scottish Water's business.
Our requirements
The independent assurers should be able to demonstrate a track record in the following areas:
• Independent Third-Party Assurance provision for regulated businesses;
• Assurance for Business Plan submissions for regulated businesses;
• Experience of working with regulated water companies;
• Relevant knowledge of technical, commercial and regulatory aspects of the water sector.
