## Summary

The procurement process involves Affinity Water Limited, a private utility company based in Hatfield, UK, and highlights the direct award of a contract for a water meter data management solution. This initiative belongs to the utilities industry category and covers several regions in the United Kingdom, including UKH, UKI, and UKJ. The contract comprises a comprehensive service for managing data from automated meter reading (AMR) systems, essential for transitioning to a new system for smart meters over the next decade. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' phase, with the contract set to begin on 1st January 2026 and potentially extendable to 31st December 2035. The initial term reflects a five-year period, with significant implications for continuity of data services during the smart meter rollout.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in meter reading services and those providing cloud-based data management solutions. Companies with technological expertise compatible with Affinity Water's existing infrastructure would be well-positioned to benefit. The procurement method used was a direct award, underscoring the need for specialised services provided by Itron Metering Solutions UK Limited as the selected supplier. Business growth can be driven by ensuring technical compatibility with existing systems and understanding the dynamics of transitioning from AMR to smart meter technologies. Large-scale enterprises capable of offering robust solutions in data management for utilities would find this contract particularly lucrative.

## Notice

Affinity Water requires the continued service of a hosted, cloud-based solution to capture data from its existing fleet of AMR meters. Over the next ten years, the need for the AMR meter data capture solution will decline significantly, in line with the increasing rollout of smart meters. As part of its smart metering programme, Affinity Water will be utilising a different system for capturing data from smart meters. The contract for this new system has already been awarded following a UCR tender process.

### Procurement Information

This award is for repeat services relating the the data capture of AMR water meter reads, where it is critical that the solution is compatible with the configuration of the company's existing metering technology.
