Opportunity overview
Scottish Water Digital Directorate is dedicated to delivering digital and technology services that provide measurable value to our core business operations. Collaborating closely with our business partners, we focus on supporting our three strategic objectives. We have successfully implemented a cloud-first strategy, replacing many of our legacy enterprise applications with evergreen SaaS solutions. Our primary cloud platform, Microsoft Azure, serves as the foundation for building and running innovative solutions. The convergence of IT, Smart IoT Technology, and Operational Technology (OT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) is accelerating. Our assets are increasingly connected to the internet through a growing array of sensors, offering opportunities to enhance services, improve data analytics and visualisations, and reduce costs and carbon emissions via an intelligent asset base. Compliance with regulatory standards, is essential and supplier partnerships that seamlessly integrate these complex digital innovations with engineering practices across capital investments are crucial. Scottish Water seeks supplier partnerships that operate at scale, with extensive experience and expertise. We also value relationships with partners who can offer niche services and specialisms. The framework is divided into service areas and interested parties can qualify across all services or specialise in just one. We aim to establish relationships with partners who have strategies supporting modern engineering practices like Platform Engineering, DevOps, CI/CD, Automation, Software Defined Networking, Zero Trust, and IT/OT convergence, ensuring secure technology transformation. Scottish Water may also purchase 3rd party software or hardware required for the project from the framework supplier.
