What is being bought

Published requirement description

The scope of this tender is for RTS software and

related systems integration services.

Yorkshire Water Services is undergoing a process

for the transforming and enhancing of Operational

Technology (OT) platforms and processes. The key

focus of this procurement phase is to replace the

existing Legacy Regional Telemetry System (RTS),

integrate with existing business systems,

associated training, and data transformation e.g.

datapoints and mimics.

RTS is our core Telemetry Monitoring System

provided by Metasphere Ltd and is also known as

the MC2000 product. This system currently

provides the capability for near real time monitoring

and intervention of 6500 Edge Devices, converting

this data into actionable business intelligence.

There are over 10,000 schematics (mimics)

configured from a data base of over 275,000 data

streams. Data streams are stored in a native

historian and are key for YW day to day operations.

This functionality ensures the safe and efficient

operation of various assets, including monitoring

reservoir and borehole levels, water quality

readings, and pump or valve statuses across both

clean and wastewater systems. The processed data

is displayed in our operational control room and

accessed remotely by key operational users,

ensuring that our assets and processes operate

efficiently, minimising risks to customers and the

environment.

This RTS data also is a key feed into our

compliance and regulatory reporting systems.
