In plain English
Scottish Water wants to buy lifting chains, including pump chains, welded chain assemblies and chain link shackles, all made to the PEWAG brand and Scottish Water's own standards. The estimated value of the contract is £1,600,000.
What the buyer wants
• Supply PEWAG lifting chains that meet Scottish Water's established standards and specifications • Supply pump chains, welded chain assemblies and chain link shackles as part of the agreement • Review the detailed standards and specifications in the PQQ/ITN documents in the Atamis shared documents folder before bidding
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice requires the specific PEWAG brand and Scottish Water's own standards, which are only detailed in tender documents on Atamis, so a supplier that cannot supply PEWAG products or meet those standards would likely be ruled out, and the £1.6 million value may also be beyond many small businesses' capacity.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
