Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated without a prior call for competition

  • The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
    • absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

Anglian Water is working hard to become more efficient and accurate with leakage detection methodologies, specifically to enable more timely identification of leaks, type of leaks and therefore reducing the number of field inspections to confirm and pinpoint leaks and the fix solution required. As such Anglian Water requires a satellite based technology solution in order to be able to positively detect the loss of potable water from underground pipes across large rural geographical landscape and urban development areas. Water type (i.e potable water, lakes, swimming pools) must be distinguishable to enable an accurate identification of water type to be highlighted. These satellite images should be able to be overlaid onto landmarks and topographical features of the landscape being scanned in order to ensure Anglian Water can build up an accurate profile of the area and ensure that the correct planning can be undertaken. Results should be presented in a GIS format which can be overlaid onto Anglian Waters GIS data to ensure as accurate picture as possible. Anglian Water has researched the market and can only locate one provider who is able to meet our requirements, which will enable Anglian Water to meet our efficiency and leakage goals utilising such technology.
