Transforming Procurement Visibility and Control for Scottish Water

27 November 2025

When Scottish Water, one of the UK’s major water companies set out to modernise its procurement operations, it needed more than just a system, it needed a partner. The team sought a procurement software solution that delivered security, transparency and flexibility, empowering them to manage tenders, contracts and suppliers through one integrated digital platform – Atamis.

Scottish Water wanted a solution that supported audit-ready procurement processes, multi-lot tenders and seamless connections with external data sources such as Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Dun & Bradstreet.

After evaluating several solutions, the organisation selected Atamis for its intuitive interface and configurable workflows. From the first demonstration to post-launch support, the experience has been defined by collaboration and trust, resulting in a modern, secure and connected procurement environment.

Unlocked Benefits

By partnering with Atamis, Scottish Water found a solution that resolved these challenges while aligning with their goals for operational efficiency. Their Atamis solution provided the advanced functionality and customisability needed to modernise their procurement operations effectively.

Stronger Audit Trails

Built-in approval processes and system-wide visibility ensure every procurement action is traceable, supporting compliance and governance across all activity.

Reduced Risk and Greater Control

Permission-based access and automated control over project stages help safeguard against fraud and maintain transparency throughout the procurement cycle.

Enhanced Team Visibility

With full visibility of all live and historic projects, procurement teams can collaborate more effectively, share knowledge and maintain continuity even when ownership changes.

Streamlined Approvals

Authorisation workflows are embedded directly within the system, eliminating offline approvals and reducing the administrative burden on teams.

Efficiency Through Templates and Task Lists

Pre-built document templates and task lists standardise processes, saving time and reducing errors, especially valuable in complex, lotted procurements.

Integrated, Future-Ready Platform

By combining tendering, contract management and supplier relationship management in one place, the company now benefits from a whole-life procurement solution. Future integrations with data sources like Dun & Bradstreet and business tools such as Outlook and Microsoft 365 further enhance insight and efficiency.

“As a result of implementing our Atamis solution, there is improved visibility within all stages of our projects through reporting mechanisms, creating an efficient and effective management tool. The ability to include our authorisation processes within the system removes the need for offline approvals. This makes the audit process easier to conduct and reduces the risk of non-compliance.” Procurement Category Lead Scottish Water

For Scottish Water, implementing Atamis has transformed the way projects are managed, from enhanced visibility and efficiency to better compliance and collaboration.

The organisation now runs its procurement operations within a secure, integrated digital procurement platform that brings together tendering, contract management and supplier relationship management into one powerful ecosystem. With ongoing support from Atamis and their dedicated Client Success Team, Scottish Water continues to refine its procurement solution to address the changing requirements and goals of the procurement function and also the organisation as a whole.
