## Summary

The Environment Agency has awarded a contract for the support of its legacy telemetry systems to Schneider Electric, with a focus on maintaining services during the transitional phase to a cloud-based national telemetry system. This contract falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, and has a value of £400,000. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, is now in the award stage and was completed with an award date of 11th September 2025. The support contract will commence on 1st April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, with an option to extend for an additional year. The Environment Agency is based in Bristol, UK, with services supporting locations including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and the broader European region.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in telemetry and cloud solutions, though it is worth noting that the existing partnership with Schneider Electric was leveraged for continuity reasons. Given the specialised nature of the services, businesses that can offer robust support frameworks for telemetry infrastructure could find growth opportunities in similar future tenders. While the current contract is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, organisations with strong experience in managing large-scale systems would be well-suited to compete in subsequent procurement processes linked to the ongoing Future of National Telemetry project.

## Notice

The Environment Agency (EA) National Telemetry Service (NTS) currently operates 6 large telemetry systems and two smaller systems, provided by Ovarro and Schneider Electric. The Future of National Telemetry (FoNT) project is tasked to replace the existing systems via a contract with Schneider Electric (previously awarded and advertised at https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/4bf58820-9141-44b9-aed2-4f397fc35ba0) that consolidates the 8 EA regional versions into one nationally consistent, cloud-based service. The purpose of this contract (and associated public procurement notices) is to renew the support contract of the legacy telemetry system with Schneider Electric for an initial term of one year, with the option to extend by one further year. This will maintain service continuity whilst the FoNT project completes its deployment for the cloud-based national service.
