        "status": "planned",
        "description": "At locations where we don't currently have any existing flow monitoring, we will often conduct an options assessment. This involves a site survey, options report and then detailed design drawings of the preferred option. Suppliers will need to be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of flow measurement techniques, measurement uncertainty, requirements of the relevant ISO standards/ MCERTS, the pros and cons of each option and have demonstrable experience of designing and managing a contractor to install flow measurement solutions, often at remote sites. In most cases, the supplier who undertakes the options assessment will then be appointed to install the preferred solution, together with the logger and sensors. Given the lack of existing infrastructure at most of these sites, the supplier must either have an in-house civils team, or work alongside a civils sub-contractor. The supplier must supervise this work to ensure that the millimetre tolerance required when installing flow measurement structures is achieved.\nFlow measurement solutions may include, but not be limited to: weirs and flumes, weir tanks, velocity meters, pipe flow meters, Stage-Discharge or Velocity-Index sites etc.  \nThese sites are predominantly metal mines catchments, in remote parts of the country, where there is no existing continuous flow monitoring installed, and are thus mostly in Wales, the South-West of England and the Pennines/ Lakes/ Yorkshire."

        "description": "This lot will involve the installation of weirs and flumes predominantly at our existing Coal Mine Water Treatment Schemes (MWTS). We operate over 70 MWTS across the UK (South Wales, Scotland, Midlands, Yorkshire, North-East and North-West England), and have a programme of upgrading the flow measurement weirs at these schemes. Over the first 2 years of the upgrade programme, we have upgraded the outlet weirs at 13 schemes (with some having more than 1 measurement structure), and we have a forward programme to continue this work at the remaining sites over the course of this framework. \nThis work will involve  replacing existing flow measurement structures or to design and install new ones within existing channels.  Design and installation work should be undertaken in accordance with the relevant ISO standard/ MCERTS, and all installation work will be carried out under CDM. The installation work will often require the supplier to install loggers and sensors at the new weirs."

Wherever possible, the data loggers should be installed on telemetry, and be battery powered with solar panels. We currently use Hydro-Logic Flexi-Loggers, OTT EcoLog and NetDL loggers, and our preference is to appoint suppliers who can install, maintain, calibrate and decommission these logger types. All installation work will be carried out under CDM.\nApplications include:\n-\tWater level sensors for flow monitoring at weirs and flumes - either pressure transmitters or non-contact sensors such as radar sensors.\n-\tVelocity sensors for flow measurement in partially full pipes (often in confined spaces).\n-\tGroundwater monitoring in boreholes\n-\tRainfall monitoring\n-\tWater Quality monitoring"

This work is often undertaken to provide baseline data within catchments where we are proposing to undertake more detailed monitoring by installing continuous flow measurement structures (under Lot 1). The catchments are often remote, with difficult terrain. Spot flow gauging techniques required will include Salt Dilution Gauging, Current Meter Gauging and ADCP Gauging, in accordance with the relevant ISO standard. Water quality sampling will include taking samples for laboratory analysis (in most cases sent to SOCOTEC laboratories), and manual measurements using a hand held water quality meter.  \nThis work is largely at our metal mine sites, so will predominantly be in Wales, the South-West of England and Yorkshire/ Pennines/ Lake District."

These meters require a programme of routine verification checks using a clamp-on meter (or similar) in order to confirm their measurement accuracy. Where there are slight discrepancies we would like the supplier to be able to reconfigure the electromagnetic pipe flow meter at the time of test (rather than requiring a revisit), and where there are more significant issues, these should be listed in the report together with suggested remedial actions and, where possible, budgetary costs. \nFurther to this, we are likely to require the installation of insertion meters at some of our sites where ochre accretion is present on the inside of the pipes, in order to confirm the accuracy of those meters and inform the required maintenance regime.\nAs we install new weirs and flumes (via Lot 2) at the outlet of our schemes, we will also have a requirement to undertake routine verification of the look-down VEGA radar meters installed by using a datum/ bounce plate."
