Lot Information
Lot 1
Development of a digital twin, as a proof-of-concept project, at Chingford WTW: - Optimise efficiency across the whole site - source to pumps. Optimisation will be in the form of recommendations for operators to conduct on a day-to-day basis, driving down costs in areas such as power and consumeables - The digital twin solution will mimic the physical asset to allow what-if analysis, running hypothetical scenarios to understand how the physical treatment work will operate under certain conditions - The tool should integrate advances in innovation and machine learning to help Thames in becoming more proactive: identifying changing trends that wouldn't be possible manually and outputting a preventative response to mitigate emerging events - The digital twin should be adaptable so that it can be tailored to help solve site-specific challenges, example at Chingford algae and pH control - The product should be able to assist in the quantification of benefits it delivers enabling ROI calculations to be drawn which will inform scalability
Options: Any Agreement awarded for an initial duration of three years (within which break clauses may apply after the proof of concept phase and at any roll out phase) and then with the option to extend annually to a maximum of overall duration of five years.
Renewal: Any Agreement awarded for an initial duration of three years (within which break clauses may apply after the proof of concept phase and at any roll out phase) and then with the option to extend annually to a maximum of overall duration of five years.
