Notice Information
Notice Title
Water meter data management solution
Notice Description
Affinity Water requires the continued service of a hosted, cloud-based solution to capture data from its existing fleet of non-smart meters. Over the next ten years, the need for the non-smart meter data capture solution will decline significantly, in line with the increasing rollout of smart meters. As part of its smart metering programme, Affinity Water will be utilising a different system for capturing data from smart meters. The contract for this new system has already been awarded following a UCR tender process.
Procurement Information
This award is for repeat services relating the the data capture of non-smart water meter reads, where it is critical that the solution is compatible with the current configuration of Affinity Water's metering technology.
