Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Scottish Water, the public body that runs water and wastewater services in Scotland, wants to buy chlorine gas and have it delivered. Chlorine is used to disinfect drinking water and treat wastewater, so this is a steady supply of a chemical that the water network depends on. The estimated value is £2.4 million.

What the buyer wants

• Supply chlorine gas to Scottish Water • Deliver the gas to the sites Scottish Water specifies • The notice does not state volumes, delivery locations or timescales, so these need checking in the full tender documents

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Chlorine gas is a toxic, regulated chemical, so the supplier will almost certainly need to be an established chemical producer or distributor with hazardous goods transport capability, which most small businesses are not, and the £2.4 million value is well beyond the reach of a small firm.

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.
