Business Stream saves Scottish public sector £1m in a year

Business Stream has reported delivering savings of £1.4m and 885,000 cubic metres of water during the first year of a three year contract to Scotland’s public sector. This will also contribute to the Scottish Government’s net zero carbon targets.

Business Stream won the £200m, three-year Scottish Government Public Sector Procurement contract in early 2020 and onboarded over 17,000 sites last year, including local authorities, NHS Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue, Police Scotland, Scottish Prison Service, universities and colleges and Scottish Government.

A spokesperson from the Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate utilities team, said: “Scottish Procurement acknowledges the Business Stream approach to pro-active water management. They have identified issues and worked with customers to improve the efficiency and management of our water resource. This practical approach has reduced water consumption and provided financial savings for public sector customers of the Water and Waste Water Framework and benefits everyone.”
