## Summary

The Black Country Business is currently managing a tender for the procurement of advanced electricity meters, titled "DUD - The Purchase, Installation and Operation (MOP, DC/DA) of Non Half Hourly Electricity Meters - 2017." This process falls under the services sector, specifically relating to meter reading services, and takes place in Dudley, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, and the tender period will conclude on 10th March 2017, with the contract set to commence on 1st April 2017 and running until 31st July 2019. It's essential that the selected contractor installs these meters before the advanced meter exception deadline of 17th August 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and installation of metering systems, especially those that comply with UK and EU regulations. Companies capable of delivering MOP, DC, and DA services will find themselves particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement process can lead to business growth by allowing firms to establish long-term operations with the council, given the ongoing nature of the contract and the requirement for continuous data provision.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to replace approximately 784 'dumb' electricity meters with Advanced Meters (AMRs). The meters are to be used for settlement purposes and must therefore conform to all relevant UK/ EU legislation as well as any relevant Code of Practice (CoP). Meters should be listed under Schedule 4 of the Meters (Certification) Regulations (SI 1998/1566) or approved under the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID 2004/22/EC). The Contractor will be responsible for installing the replacement meters as well as the on-going operation and data provision (MOP/DC/DA services). For the avoidance of doubt, the Council intends to purchase the meters outright rather than enter into any kind of lease agreement. To ensure no conflict with the supplier's requirement to install smart meters, all meters are to be installed prior to the advanced meter exception deadline on 17 August 2017.
