Framework: winning a place puts you on an approved list for future work. It's the entry ticket, not guaranteed work.
In plain English
United Utilities wants to appoint three delivery partners to install around 15,000 battery-powered level monitors across its wastewater network, plus wider sensing technologies (flow, pressure, rainfall, water quality, asset condition), covering survey, installation, data acquisition, reporting and maintenance. The framework runs an initial three years from 31 March 2027 to 30 March 2030, with an option to extend for a further five years, and a place on it is the entry ticket to future call-off work, not guaranteed work.
Good fit for: Engineering or telemetry firms experienced in installing and maintaining monitoring/sensor equipment on utility networks at scale.
- Framework appoints only three suppliers, so competition will be strong
- Large-scale rollout (~15,000 monitors) suggests a need for significant delivery capacity and resources
- Competitive flexible procedure likely involves a shortlisting stage before final award
- Must integrate with UU's existing telemetry and data platforms, implying technical interoperability requirements

What the buyer says
The purpose of this framework is to appoint three end-to-end delivery partners to support the continued deployment of battery-powered level monitoring across the wastewater network during the mid to late stages of AMP8. The programme is expected to deliver approximately 15,000 monitors through a phased rollout over an initial three-year term, with the option to extend for a further five years. In addition to level monitoring, the framework is intended to facilitate the deployment of a broader range of sensing technologies, including, but not limited to, flow, pressure, rainfall, water quality and asset condition monitoring. United Utilities (UU) requires suppliers capable of delivering robust, interoperable monitoring solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing telemetry systems, data platforms and operational processes, providing accurate and near real-time data to support operational decision-making. The scope of the framework includes the following delivery elements: Survey Hardware procurement Installation and commissioning Data acquisition and transfer Fleet performance reporting and incident management Maintenance and lifecycle support
Procedure: Competitive flexible procedure (Flexible: the buyer sets the stages, often a shortlist first, then bids). Published 29 Sep 2026.
