P26-0016: Grangemouth Water Treatment Study

Description

In order to achieve the objectives of Project Willow and establish Grangemouth as a low-carbon industrial cluster, as part of the just transition to a net zero economy, investment in existing infrastructure will be essential. There are currently five waste-water treatment facilities across Grangemouth. To help unlock private investment and stimulate economic growth, the existing waste-water treatment facilities are expected to require upgrades to improve capacity and meet increasing industry regulations. SE propose to undertake a feasibility study that will consider the strategic options of investment in the five different wastewater treatment facilities across Grangemouth. The study will establish budget costs, delivery timelines and consenting requirements for each option. The study will benchmark options against a new build purpose-built facility or pre-treatment of water waste prior to discharge to a treatment facility and will be used to inform infrastructure investment business cases and investment phasing. Scottish Enterprise anticipates that the contract will start early December 2025 and run until the end of March 2026. Scottish Enterprise anticipates that the contract value will be in the region of between GBP90,000 and GBP125,000 (excluding VAT). Bidders should note that the maximum budget available for this contract is GBP125,000 (excl VAT). Bids above this value cannot be accepted.
