Description

In accordance with its bioresource strategy, Scottish Water (SW) is developing a project to create a new major bioresource processing facility (utilising thermal hydrolysis Advanced Anaerobic Digestion (AAD) technology - Cambi) to process circa 85,000 tonnes dry solids (tds) Per Annum at a location in the central belt of Scotland. The new asset will produce a class A bioresource product suitable for recycling to agricultural land, maximise energy recovery and reduce the energy usage, carbon footprint and operating costs of bioresource treatment. SW is currently working on the design for this project with framework consultants and engaging with the AAD technology provider Cambi to assist in the design. SW is seeking to appoint Contractors with experience of delivering and commissioning AAD plants. The planned construction site start date is April 2027. The estimated value is in the range of £185,000,000 to £285,000,000 GBP (based on 2024 prices). Determining the most cost-effective design is a key aspect of the project. Scottish Water will consider Consortium, Joint Venture and other arrangements, in relation to this opportunity.
