To ask the Scottish Government whether private sector contractors in the Scottish Water framework agreement are allowed to sub-contract.
As this is an operational matter for Scottish Water, and the Scottish Government does not hold the information, I have asked them to respond. Their reply is as follows:
Scottish Water framework contractors are permitted to sub-contract work if they require additional resources/capability to deliver the works or if specific expertise is required.
