Description of the procurement

United Utilities have a number of targets, one of which is to reduce Leakage by 15%.
Data Loggers form part of our strategy to deliver that target.
This tender is for procurement of the remaining phase of the permanent Acoustic logger installation program as well as the procurement of Lift and Shift style acoustic loggers.
An initial 72,000 permanent loggers have been installed onto the network and are being used to reduce the company’s leakage levels. This tender will cover the potential to install up to a further 30,000 permanent loggers which will be made up of either accelerometer or hydrophone loggers.
It is anticipated that the split will be 80/20 in favour of the accelerometer style logger. Although this may change dependent on the selected DMA’s that require logging.
This tender will also cover the replacement of the loggers contained within the companies Lift & Shift fleet which currently totals around 2100 loggers.
