Scottish Water has gone out to tender with a contract for supply, installation and maintenance of fixed standby generators with an estimated total value of £25 milion (ex VAT).
The water company is looking to put a framework agreement in place with several suppliers in place for the supply, installation and maintenance of fixed standby generators including:
- design
- manufacture#
- works testing
- delivery
- installation
- commissioning
- site testing
- servicing
- maintenance and refurbishment
Scope of the framework also covers all necessary ancillary equipment for new sites and to refurbish and/or replace existing installations throughout all Scottish Water areas including the Highlands and islands.
The framework will include:
- supply of “diesel” standby generators (fixed and mobile), all ancillary equipment, generator control panels, fuel bulk and day storage tanks and transfer systems, pipework, cabling, instrumentation, acoustic coverings/containers, gauges & valves and optional extra metering to demonstrate power supplied.
- installation and maintenance of external power supply intake sockets and internal mains/generator changeover switches, and all other necessary ancillary equipment to permit the connection of mobile generators at new sites, or at existing sites without mobile generator connection.
Scottish Water also requires that the standby generators should be capable of operating on both diesel and HVO fuel types. While it is anticipated that HVO fuel shall be used as standard throughout all sites, it may be required to switch to diesel as required from time to time and the generator sets should allow this.
Ancillary inspection and reporting services will also be incorporated in the framework which will run for an eight year period.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 12:00pm on 27 October 2025.
