Scottish Water has gone to tender with a framework contract for Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) worth an estimated £4 million.
The water company is looking to appoint Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) suppliers to a framework contract. The scope of the framework will include the design, supply of RTUs and associated components, training, technical and development support.
Scottish Water’s (SW) telemetry master station (TMS) is provided by Emerson and has been installed to meet SW requirements - the TMS is Open Enterprise (OE) with specific SW variants. Interested RTU manufacturers will have to have certification issued by Emerson confirming their device is suitable for operation with the utility’s TMS.
However, it is anticipated that the TMS might change within the life of the framework and the requirement for RTU supply will be re-procured based on the TMS change.
Initial contract period is 2 years with three further 2 year extension options.
