Legacy telemetry system support contract

ENVIRONMENT AGENCY · Transparency notice on Find a Tender

Opportunity overview

The Environment Agency (EA) National Telemetry Service (NTS) currently operates 6 large telemetry systems and two smaller systems, provided by Ovarro and Schneider Electric. The Future of National Telemetry (FoNT) project is tasked to replace the existing systems via a contract with Schneider Electric (previously awarded and advertised at https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/4bf58820-9141-44b9-aed2-4f397fc35ba0) that consolidates the 8 EA regional versions into one nationally consistent, cloud-based service. The purpose of this contract (and associated public procurement notices) is to renew the support contract of the legacy telemetry system with Schneider Electric for an initial term of one year, with the option to extend by one further year. This will maintain service continuity whilst the FoNT project completes its deployment for the cloud-based national service. Please note this is a retrospective notice. The Contract Start Date will be 1st April 2025, however data validation means we are unable to edit this field to reflect the correct Contract Start Date in Find a Tender Service (FTS).
