Water quality engineers Panton McLeod have won a sole supplier contract with Scottish Water which includes the inspection, cleaning and maintenance of over 2000 treated water storage assets across of whole of Scotland including the highland and Islands.
The firm, which is based in the Scottish Borders town of Melrose, has succeeded in winning a 12 year (6 + 6) framework contract with Scottish Water to provide critical engineering services potentially until 2027.
