Scottish Water has awarded a contract for the supply of data loggers worth an estimated £5.8 million –the contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition.
The water company has a legacy installed base of Halma (HWM) and Technolog dataloggers which use proprietary connections to operate with Scottish Water’s existing telemetry system.
