Severn Trent Water and sister company Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig are looking to find suppliers with the technical capabilities to provide advanced metering solutions to support business ambitions around leakage detection and water consumption.

The companies are seeking market input on an advanced meter solution (including metering infrastructure, hardware, communications, customer strategy, data analytics etc) that can cover their geographical region with over 1 million potential meter end points.

Advanced Meter Infrastructure Project 804 is a soft market evaluation exercise for the utilities to review supplier solutions that can support the achievement of water reduction demand by reducing leakage on the network and helping customers reduce their water consumption.

This will also include the increased accuracy and consistency of receiving data to support trend analysis in consumption whilst improving the customer experience through automated technology.

The water companies want to understand the current market capabilities and subsequent technology roadmaps for the next 5-10 years across both the UK and global markets, including the total cradle to grave costs for installing and running an automated metering solution to determine viability.
