The tender, titled "Optimisation of Water Services," falls under the industry category of industry-specific software development services. Anglian Water is seeking advanced software systems to enhance its water system operations, including abstraction license control, production costs, energy efficiency, and renewable energy sources. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a tender period ending on January 5, 2024, and a future notice date of October 1, 2024, for potential opportunities. This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in software development for water utilities to compete. Companies specialising in industrial control software packages and related services would be well-suited to bid for this contract. Anglian Water, as the buying organisation, aims to enhance operational efficiency and risk management through the implementation of advanced software systems. The procurement process presents a chance for businesses to contribute to the development of a more proactive and autonomous water system, focusing on operational optimization and strategic outcomes in the water services sector. ## Notice Anglian Water currently operate a large interconnected water supply system, set across a broad and diverse geographical region. These systems often have complex operations based upon multiple and changing parameters. Further adding to this complexity is a new Strategic Pipeline spanning the length of Anglian Waters network, increasing the ability to proactively manage water resources and improve resilience is currently being constructed. However this creates further complexity across the Water system which requires additional capability enabling Anglian Water to adopt a more holistic approach. Water utilities are all facing the same challenges; to drive operational efficiency, enhance system wide operations and improve risk management while aiming for frontier performance in strategic outcomes. Currently Anglian Water operate an existing SCADA network (Out of Scope) with significant levels of automation. This market research is looking to identify the complementary systems available to meet these ever-increasing challenges from source to tap. Therefore, Anglian Water will need to further develop our current control philosophies to move to a planned production environment (Production Planning), through the implementation of more advanced software systems within our OT and IT Architecture. This will provide the ability to operate the water system proactively and enable autonomous control, or to respond to meet the changing requirements and challenges placed upon a smart water system. The sorts of decisions would include the management and optimisation of: * Abstraction licence control (Water resourcing) * Production and distribution costs * Energy efficiency * Renewable energy sources * Asset conditioning * Water quality * Supply demand balance (Current) * Supply demand balance (Forecast) * Maintenance planning (To enable production planning) * Water storage points * Incident management (Appropriate response to unplanned water system events) * Manual scenario planning There is also consideration in the ability to utilise these solutions to manually assess scenarios to inform planning activities and future investments. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Anglian Water currently operate a large interconnected water supply system, set across a broad and diverse geographical region.
