Thames Water has gone out to tender with a ten year AMP8/9 contract for Automation of Regional Control (SCADA) worth an estimated £6 million.
The water company is seeking to appoint a qualified bidder to automate and optimise specific aspects of its regional SCADA system.
A considerable portion of the Thames Water operation currently relies on manual management by a control room.
The primary objective of this procurement is to conduct one or two Proof of Concept (POC) for hydraulic systems located in North East London; Coppermills and Lower Hall B Water Treatment Works.
Thames Water said this will allow the control to be optimised, ensuring continued supply of wholesome water, whilst taking into consideration operating strategies to reduce leakage and energy use. It will also remove the risk of any human error.
Subject to a successful POC, the utility may then decide to roll out the solution to other hydraulic systems across the estate. The roll out will be organised in sequence by five specific geographic areas; North East London (the POC), Ring Main, North West London, South London, and Thames Valley.
Services the successful bidder will be required to provide the following to deliver the POC include:
- Detailed Design: Conduct a thorough assessment of how the product will be integrated within existing TW infrastructure to meet both operational and maintenance needs to optimise the POC hydraulic areas.
- Develop, Test and Deploy: Deliver a centralised automation solution that addresses our specific requirements, fully tested in advance of deployment into production.
- Commission and Optimise: Full testing within the production environment to ensure the solution is fit for purpose and enables continued operation whilst generating optimal benefit.
Any agreement awarded will be for an initial 10 year term with the option to extend annually to a maximum of overall duration of 13 years.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 12:00pm on 12 April 2024 – click here to access the contract documentation.
