Scottish Water has just gone out to tender with a contract for Low Carbon Kiosks worth an estimated £5.3 million.

The water company is looking to establish a framework agreement for the provision of innovative Low Carbon Kiosk (LCK) solutions. The framework will include the design, manufacturing, fabrication, on site assembly (if required) and delivery of both security and non-security rated low carbon kiosks and enclosures across Scotland, including highlands, islands and remote locations.
To substantially differentiate the Low Carbon Kiosks from standard GRP/Steel kiosks bidders will be required to provide evidence as to the low carbon benefits/carbon savings of their kiosks - including a detailed breakdown of embodied carbon.
The framework will run for an initial period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further 6 periods of 12 months.
Scottish Water said the framework is intended to include a variety of innovative low carbon solutions from a variety of suppliers. The utility is specifying that all LCK solutions proposed must be market ready and able to be ordered from the framework commencement date.
