Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure

3 lots · all with a published value · win at most 3 of them

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £100,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #1Eastceiling above

Anglian Water is looking to award a framework agreement to 2 or 3 companies, including a backup supplier , for the supply of water meters , communication devices , networks and data services.

The bidder with the highest score will be awarded work under the framework agreement. The next highest scoring bidder will only be allocated work under the framework agreement if the winning bidder framework agreement is terminated as set out in the framework agreement.

Anglian Water believes that the key benefits of this Network Programme are;

  • Enable Anglian Water to achieve leakage and consumption savings in the order of 52MLD by 2045 closing our deficits by demand side controls and behavioural change. In turn this would avoid large capital expenditure on supply side projects.
  • Provide means to enhance the impact of water efficiency measures linked to installing first time meters in an area facing a water deficit in the future.
  • Establish Anglian Water as the leading exponent of smart metering in the UK
  • Identify customer side water losses and therefore enable customers to reduce their bill
