What is being bought
Feasibility, Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Ultrasonic River Flow Gauges 2025 This framework contract is for the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of Ultrasonic River Flow Gauges. The Environment Agency operates more than 200 ultrasonic river flow monitoring gauges which represents ~20% of the EAs flow gauge network. The gauges are used for continuous measurement of river flows for flood forecasting & warning and other FCRM outcomes, along with water resource management such as enforcing water abstraction licenses. Many of these gauges are at critical sites that control major rivers such as the Thames, Severn, Trent, Mersey and Ouse.
