Current stage: Planning OCID: ocds-h6vhtk-0780ea [View canonical contract page](https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-0780ea) [Download OCDS JSON](https://d3tenders.com/contract/ocds-h6vhtk-0780ea.json) ## Summary Southern Water Services Limited is exploring vibration monitoring solutions for its water and wastewater assets. The requirement concerns vibration-monitoring equipment and associated solutions, including technology options, service delivery models, coverage across assets, data analytics and implementation approaches. The purpose is to understand what the market can provide so that Southern Water can shape its future requirements. The buyer is based in Worthing, but the work is intended to cover water and wastewater assets rather than a stated delivery site. The process is at planning: Southern Water is carrying out preliminary market engagement to inform a future procurement, not inviting tenders. The buyer asks interested suppliers to confirm participation and submit responses using its templates through the Coupa Supplier Portal by 23 October 2026. The buyer expects a subsequent notice on 4 October 2027. The planned contract period runs from 28 October 2027 to 28 October 2031. No procurement procedure or evaluation approach has yet been set out. The published estimated value is £0, so it does not indicate a contract budget or commercial scale. This engagement is relevant to suppliers able to offer vibration-monitoring technology for water and wastewater assets, and to providers combining equipment with monitoring or related service delivery. Southern Water is seeking to understand the range of available technology, how services could be delivered, which assets could be covered, what data analytics capabilities are available and how implementation could be approached. Suppliers with experience spanning these areas can provide useful market input and help shape the eventual requirements. The engagement may suit both technology vendors and service providers, including those able to explain different options for coverage and analytics. The buyer has not yet set out specific technical standards, accreditations or capacity thresholds, so suppliers can focus their preparation on describing their current capabilities and delivery models. ## Notice Southern Water is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise to understand current market capabilities for vibration monitoring solutions across water and wastewater assets. The information gathered will be used to inform future procurement requirements, including technology options, service delivery models, asset coverage, data analytics capabilities and implementation approaches. This exercise is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a formal procurement process. ### Planning Information Suppliers wishing to participate should access the opportunity via the Coupa Supplier Portal and click "Participate" to confirm their interest. Responses should be completed using the templates provided and submitted through Coupa, together with any supporting documentation, no later than 23 October 2026.
