Anglian Water is seeking supply chain interest in a market engagement exercise ahead of launching the formal procurement process for a Sewer Network Performance Platform.

The water company is currently reviewing its strategy for the future delivery of a Sewer Network Performance Platform.
Anglian Water has published a Periodic Indicative Notice ahead of issuing a formal contract notice in February next year.
The scope of the contract covers the provision of a user interface that offers visualisation, alerting and reporting on our sewer network performance. A key requirement is that the platform allows for dynamic interaction by the user.
Expenditure and level of demand is currently unconfirmed. Anglian has 76,000km of sewers and a network of 11,000 existing sensors. The water company has plans to triple this as it develops greater in depth knowledge cross the most critical areas of its network. With this system, Anglian Water said it will be able to:
- Identify and predict blockages or restrictions within our network, using AI and machine learning.
- Identify and report on network performance
- Predict performance of the sewer network with the ability to drill down to catchment level
- Visualise, report and alert on data from a variety of sources in our network.
- Drive condition based monitoring into our maintenance strategies
- Visualise flow strategies that bridge between above and below ground assets
- Enhance its Incident management capability (asset condition triggers)
- Identify sensors that aren't working properly and understand the performance of all sensors.
- Extract data from the platform
