Tender Description

Anglian Water Services Ltd (Anglian Water) is undertaking a Procurement Exercise for the Supply of Sewer Network Monitoring Sensors.
We are seeking sewer monitoring network level sensor remote telemetry units and flow sensor remote telemetry units which will enable us to proactively address blockages and pollution events including potential for high spilling CSO locations by being paired with a visualisation platform (separate procurement exercise).
What Sensors?
Our procurement exercise separately addresses and assesses Flow Sensors (Lot 1) and Level Sensors (Lot 2). Bidders are welcome to tender for one or both Lots.
Flow Sensors meaning a single device which is installed below ground level and is capable of measuring flow of water, sewage or sludge, with telemetry capability to remotely transmit flow data.
Level Sensors meaning a single device which is installed below ground level and is capable of measuring the level of water, sewage or sludge, with telemetry capability to remotely transmit flow data.
All sensors must be suitable for deployment within the sewer network. Bidders must me mindful of turbidity and ragging.
The Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2016, UKSI 2016:1107 is a must have for some, not all, locations within our sewer network.
The Opportunity
We anticipate spending approximately 9 million throughout the contract period of 7 years. This includes:
1. Acquisition of ~20,000 Sewer Network Sensors
2. Acquisition of replacement Sewer Network Monitors
3. Acquisition of replacement Batteries
4. Data and digital / telemetry services
5. Collection / delivery and disposal.
Not included in this procurement exercise are:
1. Installation, maintenance and replacement of sensors
2. Visualisation platform with analytics.
We expect to buy the in the region of 20,000 sewer network monitoring sensors in the first two years of the agreement. Demand plans will be discussed with Bidders at RFP stage.
Installation, maintenance and replacement of sensors will be done by Anglian Water or a 3rd party delivery route.
Anglian Water is separately advertising the opportunity to provide an agnostic visualisation platform with analytics.
Submissions are welcomed from capable suppliers of Flow Sensors (Category 1) and / or Level Sensors (Category 2).
This is a multiple supplier framework for which we expect to contract with a minimum of 2 Suppliers per Lot.
What are we looking for?
Capable suppliers offering "off the shelf" devices which are quick and simple to install, are maintenance free.
Robust sensors and brackets suitable for deployment in our sewer network, as fully described in our Specification document.
Right first time deployment. Some locations will have low cellular strength. Training to ensure successful deployment and operation including the provision of manuals.
A "no quibble" warranty covering all aspects of the bracket and sensor with quick delivery of a replacement device. We are content to exclude the potential of accidental damage caused by jetting.
Capable suppliers who can help minimise our environmental impact through device and battery longevity, and repair / reuse / recycle systems.
Delivery of Sensors to selected staffed goods inward / logistics centres. At times delivery of small volume replacements may be direct to our sites; these will also be staffed.
Bidders who have ideas and wish to work with Anglian Water to explore possibilities and help attain our strategic business goals.
What are we offering?
The opportunity to become a valued supplier and supply partner to Anglian Water.
A contract period of up to 7 years.
A total contract value of around 9 million awarded to multiple suppliers. Within this our projected spend split is 10% Flow and 90% Level.
The opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives and environment by reducing pollution and flooding incidents.
