Scottish Water has awarded two contracts for the hire of modular and portable accommodation worth an estimated £13.2 million to support its capital and operational delivery programmes.

The equipment covers all major items including static and modular offices, canteens, stores, welfare units, sleeping units, toilet units and shower units.

The framework agreements will run for an initial period of 6 years, with 6 further annual  extension options.

Peterborough-based firm Elliott and Lanarkshire company Wernick Hire have both won a place on the framework,  two of four companies in the bidding for the work.
