## Summary

The procurement process led by the Environment Agency, headquartered at Seacole Building, 2 Marsham Street, London, focused on the "Legacy telemetry system support contract." This contract supports the IT services industry, specifically in telemetry system integration and support. The project addresses the National Telemetry Service's infrastructure, transitioning to a cloud-based system provided by Schneider Electric. The direct procurement method highlighted Schneider Electric as the sole capable supplier due to their existing software authorship and exclusive intellectual property rights. The award's completion was confirmed, with important dates noting that the contract was signed on 9th September 2025, starting officially on 10th September 2025, and running through to 31st March 2026, with potential extension to March 2027. This initiative is linked to services enhancing service reliability during the Future of National Telemetry project rollout.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses proficient in IT services, specifically those focusing on software development, consulting, and telemetry surveillance systems. Companies like Schneider Electric — poised as large-scale operations — are suited to such contracts due to their expertise and existing infrastructure to deliver robust, cloud-based solutions. This provides an impetus for growth within the sector as subcontracting opportunities may arise, necessitating collaboration with enterprises proficient in various related technological and consulting services to ensure the smooth transition and operation of the cloud-based capabilities over the contract duration and any subsequent renewal phases.

## 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. Please note this is a retrospective notice. The Contract Start Date will be 1st April 2025, however data validation means we are unable to edit this field to reflect the correct Contract Start Date in Find a Tender Service (FTS).
