Portsmouth Water has gone out to tender with a contract for Smart Meter Asset, AMI Network and Data Provision covering the AMP8 investment period 2025-30 and beyond worth an estimated £40 million.
This procurement is to provide Portsmouth Water with a smart meter data network capable of securely and consistently transmitting Smart meter data and the provision of AMI Smart meter asset in accordance with Portsmouth Water’s Smart Deployment Plan.
Under the mixed service and supply contract, the contractor will provide smart meters for domestic and non-household connections, as well as managing the smart meter assets (including faults/failures and aftercare).
The successful contractor will be required to work in collaboration with Portsmouth Water’s smart meter installation contractor, which is the subject of a separate procurement.
The contractor will procure new AMI smart meter assets that will be in operation across Portsmouth Water’s supply area (both domestic and non-household) as a crucial component of the overall smart network.
The selected Smart Meter will be authorised for use within the UK and ideally be able to fit within Portsmouth Water’s existing meter chamber estate to potentially reduce installation costs.
The meter will also have to adhere to strict quality, flow and measurement standards that will be assessed via the procurement process.
Portsmouth Water’s requirement is to ensure the Smart Network is compatible with the meter and can demonstrate that the meter has been used successfully at scale with an existing AMI network to provide consistent data to customers.
The contract is expected to start in December 2024 and will run for a total period of 20 years - the first 8 years to install the smart meters and a further 12 years to provide ongoing maintenance and communication
services to smart meter customers.
