A regional framework is also planned for SMEs supporting capital and operational requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe most significant programme of investment we have ever implemented\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Director of Capital Investment, Rob Mustard, said: &#8220;DV4 is the most significant programme of investment and way of working we have ever implemented. It supports our goals of financial sustainability, service excellence, and going beyond net zero, all while contributing to a flourishing Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re moving to an &#8216;advanced partnering&#8217; model, shifting from traditional contracting to a more collaborative approach. This model brings partners together through agreed outcomes, ensuring we deliver value for our customers and innovation in every project.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This supply chain will support over 4000 jobs and create opportunities for over 1500 young people. This initiative is not just about economic growth; it&#8217;s about delivering real social value to our communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The DV4 model represents a significant evolution in how we approach capital investments. It&#8217;s designed to drive innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, aligning with our long-term goals of environmental stewardship and community enhancement. We\u2019re eager to partner with others to achieve these ambitions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On 24 October a market engagement day took place drawing over 200 delegates from 70 businesses and providing insight into the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>The procurement process began in earnest on 25 November and is intended to be completed by March 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>Scottish Water investing in the future<\/h3>\n<p>Earlier this month, Scottish Water also began a search for a partner in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/scottish-water-seeks-partner-800m-investment-programme\/145396\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a3800m investment programme.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The programme is to develop ceramic membrane plants and will begin from next year until 2033.<\/p>\n<p>The programme will be split into two phases, with phase 1 seeing construction, commissioning, and hand-over of the Turriff Ceramic Membrane Water Treatment Works, and phase 2 will transfer the design, delivery, and commercial commitments to the SR27 investment programme supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Ceramic membrane has been proven to be effective in water treatment, having been employed at Peebles in 2022.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottish Water has opened bids for Delivery Vehicle 4, the latest investment programme for water infrastructure throughout the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":146233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[579,172848,802],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-146229","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-infrastructure","9":"tag-scotland","10":"tag-water-management"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Scottish Water accepting bids for new water infrastructure enterprise<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Scottish Water has opened bids for Delivery Vehicle 4, the latest investment programme for water infrastructure throughout the country\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/scottish-water-accepting-bids-new-water-infrastructure-enterprise\/146229\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Scottish Water accepting bids for new water infrastructure enterprise\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Scottish Water have opened bids for Delivery Vehicle 4, the latest investment programme for water infrastructure throughout the country\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/scottish-water-accepting-bids-new-water-infrastructure-enterprise\/146229\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
