UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Kent Marshes Water Level Management Board procured telemetry monitoring equipment hire and related services. The requirement covers supplying and hiring equipment, installing it at five monitoring stations, maintaining the equipment, providing access to the associated data platform, and delivering data collection and monitoring services. This is a monitoring and control services opportunity for businesses able to combine field installation and maintenance with telemetry data management and ongoing monitoring. The work is for the Board, based in Sittingbourne, and the monitoring activity is delivered at five stations in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on water-level monitoring infrastructure and the supporting services needed to collect, manage and monitor the resulting data over the service period.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected for its single lot. SOCOTEC UK LIMITED received the active award on 11 November 2025, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 15 December 2025 to 14 December 2026. Its value is £48,100 excluding VAT, or £57,720 including VAT. The Board used a below-threshold limited competition, described as a limited procurement method. The contract covers the full telemetry monitoring equipment hire and services requirement, including installation, maintenance, platform access, data collection and monitoring. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The award relates to monitoring and control services, with the procurement recorded as one completed lot.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for telemetry monitoring across five stations, combining physical equipment provision with installation, maintenance, platform access, data collection and monitoring. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to deliver the complete service rather than equipment alone: reliable telemetry hardware, competent field engineers, planned and responsive maintenance, and a platform capable of making monitoring data available to the client. It would also need operational capacity to support several monitoring locations and sustain data collection throughout the service period. Businesses with established environmental monitoring or control-services capability, and experience integrating field equipment with data platforms, are likely to be best placed to meet this buyer’s needs.
