More information is provided below. Lot 1: Scottish Water is looking to appoint a Primary Designer to provide full design oversight for our investment programme, working with key teams in Scottish Water and our design and build Asset Delivery Partners to deliver outcome focussed solutions and drive standardisation and innovation. The successful bidders will deliver the programme of works under an Enterprise model of delivery which will require partners to jointly develop outcomes and deliver as integrated teams. This will be a bespoke contract based on the NEC4 Alliance model. For this, we require bidders who are committed to working in a collaborative and flexible way, who will support our drive for increased efficiencies and standardisation and who have the appropriate capability and resources to help us deliver our strategic ambitions of Beyond Net Zero, Service Excellence and Great Value and Financial Sustainability. Bidders will be required to have sufficient financial and economic standing to support the anticipated contract value. Financial standing relevant to the anticipated contract value will be determined by Scottish Water and financial checks deemed necessary will be conducted as part of the procurement process. A separate procurement will be launched at a similar time for Asset Delivery Partners to conduct design and build activities as part of the Enterprise. The procurement will be conducted under the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016.
