Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by VICO HOMES LIMITED, a public authority in Castleford, United Kingdom, involves the award of a contract for the Aquila 2c Real-Time Closed Loop Water Monitoring System. This contract encompasses the supply, installation, and maintenance of a sophisticated water monitoring system across 25 sites, with functionality including cloud-based access and data insight. The tender, classified under goods with the CPV code for analysis apparatus, follows a direct award procurement method due to its unique offering with no alternatives available. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase, with key milestones including the scheduled contract signature on 30th April 2026 and the contract period starting from 1st June 2026 through to 31st May 2031, with possibilities for extensions.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Aquila 2c Real-Time Closed Loop Water Monitoring System

Notice Description

The contract is for the supply, installation, cloud based monitoring access, alarm configuration and ongoing data insight functionality associated with the Aquila 2c Water Monitoring System across 25 sites. The system is a real time, cloud enabled corrosion and water quality monitoring system used to monitor dissolved oxygen, pressure, temperature, conductivity, pH, make up water volumes, galvanic corrosion and crevice corrosion within closed loop heating and chilled water systems.

Procurement Information

The Aquila 2c system provides a unique combination of: * Continuous monitoring of 10+ corrosion and chemistry related parameters; * Data captured at 15 minute intervals and stored in the cloud; * Integrated GSM/Wi Fi communication; * A proprietary dashboard and alerting ecosystem, with visual indication of individual parameter conformance to spec via use of traffic-light icons * Sophisticated analytics platform enabling trends to be captured together with the ability to annotate charts to capture key events * Overall corrosion health assessment based on the output of multiple sensors * Monitoring of dissolved oxygen, pH, water make-up volume, pressure, temperature, galvanic currents and associated corrosion rate, crevice corrosion (of steel and copper) and inhibitor concentration via conductivity conversion. * Cumulative values over time of corrosion, dissolved oxygen and galvanic currents There is no alternative system available in the market that delivers this same integrated suite of sensors, cloud capabilities and validated corrosion analytics from a single unit, which is required for interoperability with the existing condition monitoring infrastructure.
