Background Information: Scottish Water is committed to providing householders and communities across Scotland with help and advice on how they can be more water efficient and the benefits this entails. Scottish Water wishes to target water savings advice at householders who may have also shown an interest in energy saving advice. New Framework Requirements: Scottish Water wishes to enter into a framework agreement for the provision of Water Saving Advice Services to provide this service across Pan Scotland for an initial 3-year period with 5 x 1 year extension options. The details are below: The scope includes but is not limited to:
- Developing and implementing a comprehensive engagement strategy with households.
- Assisting households who are interested in energy savings advice and providing them with water savings advice as well.
- Providing a call-centre for householder enquiries
- Tailoring the provision of advice and devices according to the geographic location of the householder. [The free issue of water saving devices is dependent on the degree of water scarcity in the householder’s location]
- Co-ordinating with SW’s appointed device supplier to initiate, manage and confirm delivery of customer orders (N.B. SW pays the device supplier directly).
- Creating supplementary marketing materials, this may include brochures, device leaflets and promotional event collateral.
- Manage customer feedback and complaints and measure the effectiveness of the campaign. Note that suppliers should not make unsolicited phone calls, text messages, emails or other forms of direct communication with householders. It is acceptable to advertise the advice service so long as the householder makes the initial contact. The supplier shall demonstrate expertise in water conservation initiatives, an array of effective communication methods, and an enthusiasm to encourage sustainable water usage practices among the Scottish population. The supplier shall emphasize the importance of maximizing outreach and ensuring the widespread adoption of water-saving measures to support Scottish Water’s water saving goals.
