Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the tNCEA - National Hydrometry Data Logger involves two primary buyers, the Environment Agency and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, both based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement is within the industry category of surveying and hydrological instruments and appliances, with a focus on implementing robust telemetry systems. This process, initiated as a tender, has progressed to the award stage with a pending contract set to commence on 7th April 2026, ending on 6th April 2029. The procurement method employed is the open procedure, and the project involves two lots: Lot 1 for IP66 rated devices and Lot 2 for IP67 rated devices, tailored to specific environmental monitoring needs.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs adept in producing high-quality hydrometry data loggers and related telemetry equipment. Businesses specializing in environmental monitoring solutions and compact data logger technologies are well-suited to engage in this process. The demand for these highly specialized devices enables companies like OTT HydroMet and UDlive Limited to showcase their expertise in supplying advanced logging devices that meet stringent IP ratings and operational criteria. This framework contract fosters a collaborative environment for suppliers to contribute innovative solutions to enhance the telemetry capabilities of the UK's environmental monitoring infrastructure.

Notice Title

tNCEA - National Hydrometry Data Logger Lot 2

Notice Description

Lot 2 - This lot is designed to meet the EA requirement for a robust self-contained single sensor (desired minimum IP67 rating) logger device to operate in specific use cases where space may be limited. Dimensions of device should allow fitment within tube diameters >=50mm. Device should provide functionality to directly connect input sensors, without need for external junction box, to logger whilst maintaining IP rating. Logger device must be compatible with sensors on the EAs existing pressure transmitter framework. Where device has telemetry functionality inclusion of a multi band modem is desirable. Where data loggers have telemetry functionality, they are required to operate with Schneider telemetry systems using either DNP3, WITS DNP3 or Lucid (when available).
