What is being bought

Published requirement description

Affinity Water requires the continued service of a hosted, cloud-based solution to capture data from its existing fleet of non-smart meters.

Over the next ten years, the need for the non-smart meter data capture solution will decline significantly, in line with the increasing rollout of smart meters.

As part of its smart metering programme, Affinity Water will be utilising a different system for capturing data from smart meters. The contract for this new system has already been awarded following a UCR tender process.
