Scottish Water names Stantec preferred bidder to deliver multibillion-pound transformation of water and wastewater infrastructure
EDMONTON, Alberta and NEW YORK and EDINBURGH, United Kingdom, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TSX, NYSE:STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, has been named as a preferred bidder to be a primary designer for the multibillion-pound Scottish Water Enterprise, which is set to transform Scotland’s water and wastewater networks. The enterprise is the largest program of investment in Scottish Water’s history. The initiative will enhance the country’s public assets to improve drinking water quality, increase water resilience, and protect the environment.
New wave of water delivery in Scotland
The Scottish Water Enterprise will oversee asset investments and manage high-value, complex construction and engineering projects across the country.
Once appointed, Stantec will provide design and technical services throughout the construction process, supporting the successful delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure and non-infrastructure programs. With a project timeline potentially extending to 2039, Stantec will design new assets, upgrades, and a range of extensions and enhancements across the country. These improvement efforts include sewer networks, treatment facilities, blue-green infrastructure, water mains, combined sewer overflows, and other vital assets.
“We have worked closely with Scottish Water for more than 30 years, and we are proud to have the chance to continue serving the Scottish people and the country’s natural environment through this transformational enterprise,” said Gord Johnston, president and chief executive officer of Stantec. “Our deep experience delivering innovative solutions and our long-standing relationship working with Scottish Water will support unprecedented water resilience across the nation.”
Improving operational resilience
Stantec has delivered numerous nature-based, low-carbon projects across the UK and around the world. The firm will apply this expertise and proven best practices to support more resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly water and wastewater networks in Scotland.
“We are proud to support the water sector during one of the most important and influential times in its history,” said Cath Schefer, Stantec’s chief operating officer for the global region. “Being named as a preferred bidder is undoubtedly due to our extensive experience, talented workforce, and the impactful culture we have created at Stantec. I’m excited to see our growing teams continue making a meaningful impact on both the communities we serve and the environment around us. Together, we’ll create a lasting and positive legacy for generations to come.”
The procurement process is expected to be fully completed by March 2026.
