These contracts were designed to enhance the UK's hydrometry capabilities through robust logger devices, supporting river level, river flow, and rainfall monitoring. The procurement was carried out under an open procedure, indicating a transparent selection process aimed at encouraging fair competition. This procurement event took place in London and was completed in the award stage as of 13th May 2026 with contracts effective from April 2026 through to April 2029. The key procurement categories included environmental monitoring and hydrological instruments, with significant attention paid to compatibility with existing telemetry systems like Schneider. Businesses interested in supplying necessary goods had until February 2026 to submit their applications. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in manufacturing or supplying surveying and hydrological equipment. The focus on advanced telemetry systems and robust data logging equipment indicates substantial demand for innovative solutions in environmental monitoring. Companies, notably small and medium enterprises (SMEs), that specialize in developing cutting-edge hydrographical instruments or those prepared to support future telemetry requirements with IP-rated devices are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. The appointment of suppliers such as OTT HydroMet and UDlive Limited highlights the viability for SMEs to secure growth through similar public procurement opportunities by meeting functional requirements like IP ratings, data compatibility, and integrated telemetry solutions. ## Notice Lot 2 - This lot is designed to meet the EA requirement for a robust self-contained single sensor (desired minimum IP67 rating) logger device to operate in specific use cases where space may be limited. Dimensions of device should allow fitment within tube diameters >=50mm. Device should provide functionality to directly connect input sensors, without need for external junction box, to logger whilst maintaining IP rating. Logger device must be compatible with sensors on the EAs existing pressure transmitter framework. Where device has telemetry functionality inclusion of a multi band modem is desirable. Where data loggers have telemetry functionality, they are required to operate with Schneider telemetry systems using either DNP3, WITS DNP3 or Lucid (when available). ### Planning Information N/A ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044160-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 2 Feb 2026 | | Future notice date | 8 Dec 2025 | | Award date | 25 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 16 Apr 2026 - 16 Apr 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | £1 | | Awards value | £1 | | Contracts value | £1 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS | | Additional buyers | DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS; ENVIRONMENT AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | OTT HYDROMET; UDLIVE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38290000 - Surveying, hydrographic, oceanographic and hydrological instruments and appliances - 38292000 - Hydrographic instruments - 38296000 - Surveying instruments ## Release History - 13 May 2026 at 17:04 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044160-2026 - 13 May 2026 at 16:24 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044145-2026 - 25 Mar 2026 at 20:12 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027586-2026 - 25 Mar 2026 at 19:48 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027585-2026 - 2 Jan 2026 at 15:52 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000077-2026 - 19 Nov 2025 at 15:02 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075310-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044160-2026 13th May 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044145-2026 13th May 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027586-2026 25th March 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027585-2026 25th March 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000077-2026 2nd January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075310-2025 19th November 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16131 Lot 1 - Signed Contract - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16132 Lot 2 Signed Contract ## Notice URLs - https://udlive.io/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.ott.com/en-uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
