We want to increase our ability to proactively monitor and identify issues in our sewer network (principally blockages and sewer health), in order to further reduce the number of flooding and pollution incidents that occur, while also improving customer service and environmental benefits.

Therefore, we are looking to significantly increase the number of in-sewer monitors across our network at key assets/locations, likely monitoring level but we are open to other options. Due to the potential scale and end user requirements, we are looking for a lower cost solution than the EDM-standard sewer level monitors.

The aim of this Marketplace challenge is to help us gain information and experience to inform procurement of a suitable monitor in the future.

We will trial potential monitors, and we are inviting suppliers to apply to take part.

We will be holding a Teams session to explain the background of the challenge and answer any questions you may have. This will take place on Monday 17 October, 15:45-16:45 UK time.  Please email marketplace@wessexwater.co.uk to register your interest and receive the dial-in details.
