Part of the Edwin James Group, EJ Peak is a digitalisation and industrial technologies specialist that helps clients modernise and achieve their digital transformation goals.
The framework runs for an initial three-year period with the option to extend up to five years. The framework aims to enhance Digital Services Monitoring and Control (DS M&C) capability to ensure United Utilities can produce year-on-year improvements through innovation and business improvement.
Commenting on the appointment, Matthew Fildes, Commercial Business Manager at United Utilities said:

Framework scope
The scope and scale of the works will vary from simple ICA (Instrumentation, Control and Automation) installations to large complex design and build projects. The DS M&C scope of delivery will range from first-time install to upgrade, development, integration and optimisation of existing monitoring and control infrastructure.
Michael Thomas, executive director, EJ Peak Technology Solutions said:
“We’re very pleased to secure our place on this framework and are looking forward to working collaboratively with United Utilities and their partners to deliver improvements. We work with several utilities firms and understand the broad scope of work that is required and the complex environments that they operate in.
