What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe purpose of this framework is to appoint three end-to-end delivery partners to support the continued deployment of battery-powered level monitoring across the wastewater network during the mid to late stages of AMP8. The programme is expected to deliver approximately 15,000 monitors through a phased rollout over an initial three-year term, with the option to extend for a further five years. In addition to level monitoring, the framework is intended to facilitate the deployment of a broader range of sensing technologies, including, but not limited to, flow, pressure, rainfall, water quality and asset condition monitoring. United Utilities (UU) requires suppliers capable of delivering robust, interoperable monitoring solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing telemetry systems, data platforms and operational processes, providing accurate and near real-time data to support operational decision-making. The scope of the framework includes the following delivery elements: Survey Hardware procurement Installation and commissioning Data acquisition and transfer Fleet performance reporting and incident management Maintenance and lifecycle support

- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “PRO005084-Services-Framework-DNM Linear Monitor Installs” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
