Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured electricity meter operator services covering installation, maintenance and management of half-hourly (HH) and automated meter reading (AMR) meters in line with industry codes and standards. The requirement also includes collecting HH consumption data and checking it for accuracy and completeness, aggregating data for market participants and settlement bodies, and providing secure remote access to metering data through an API or web portal, with Day+1 availability as the minimum. Support covers fault resolution, meter investigations, and changes of tenancy or site. Delivery is in Liverpool. The procurement is for a combined metering and data service, rather than a purchase of meters alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Meter Operator Services. The contract is active and was signed on 29 September 2026. Its stated value is £340,000; no contract period is recorded. Liverpool City Council used a further competition through the YPO Metering and Meter Data Services dynamic purchasing system, following an award procedure without prior publication of a separate call for competition. Three bids were recorded. The evaluation weighting was 50% price, 40% quality and 10% social value. The tender was arranged as a single lot for meter operator services; that lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from Liverpool City Council for an integrated meter operation and data service, suited to suppliers able to manage HH and AMR metering alongside accurate data collection, aggregation and timely remote data access. Credible competitors would need to install, maintain and manage meters in accordance with relevant industry codes and standards, support secure API or web-portal access with Day+1 availability, and handle faults, investigations and tenancy or site changes. The scope combines technical field services with dependable data operations and customer support. The buyer selected a supplier through further competition within the YPO metering and meter-data purchasing system, so familiarity with that route would be relevant to competing for this buyer’s requirement again.
