## Summary

The University of Exeter is currently engaged in a completed procurement process for the supply of flow area meters, specifically targeting the water meter industry. This tender aimed to enhance monitoring capabilities as part of the CREWW project and required respondents to supply equipment to be deployed in various ecological settings within the South West of the United Kingdom. The tender was awarded by the University on 17 March 2021, with a total contract value of £119,046.10, set to run from March 2021 until March 2023. The tender period concluded on 10 March 2021.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring, sensor technology, and equipment supply, particularly those that align with the sustainability goals of educational institutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could benefit significantly from engaging with this contract, given the emphasis on their eligibility. Businesses that possess experience in providing topographical and water-related services would be particularly well-suited to participate in future similar tenders, reinforcing their market presence within the academic and environmental sectors.

## Notice

The University of Exeter is a rapidly expanding centre of internationally excellent research and education. As part of the CREWW project, we wish to procure a number of open channel area velocity flow sensors/loggers. These will be deployed in open channels in remote, upland, and lowland catchments to monitor the effects of different ecosystem management strategies on hydrological regimes.
