Scottish Water has outsourced its application development projects and programmes in a four-year framework agreement.
The business transformation project will improve the organisation's water and sewerage connections service, streamlining the application process for builders and property developers.
The contract was awarded to international supplier Atos Origin, in partnership with Graham Technology.
