Smart Communications Network & Smart Water Meters (Meter as a Service) Northumbria Region

Northumbrian Water Limited (NWL) plan to appoint a prime supplier (Communication Service Provider), to partner with primary and secondary sub-contractors (Meter Supplier(s)) to deliver an end-to-end 'Meter as a Service' to cover the NWL requirements for smart metering requirements in our Northumbria operating region.

The requirement is for the supply of smart water meters for both domestics and commercial properties with compatible communications devices, a wide area network provision covering all devices in the operating area, AMI services (e.g., Head-end systems, installation and commissioning tools, reporting, etc.), and any required Integration & IT services with core NWL systems.

The deployment will be split into 3 phases with the winning supplier needing to demonstrate a successful rollout in the phase 1 area before being able to progress to the following phases.
