ID Systems (‘IDS’), a part of M Group Services, has secured a long term Telemetry Engineering Support Services framework contract with Scottish Water.

Beginning in July 2021, the initial contract term is four years with an option to extend up to a further four years. IDS has provided uninterrupted telemetry services to Scottish Water since 2003.

The scope of works will include, but not be limited to; design (excluding outline design), site and desktop surveys, Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) projects and site installation, along with testing and commissioning services for new and existing solutions. In addition, IDS will provide support, as required, to Scottish Water’s electrical and mechanical department for communications failures, reactive faults and minor enhancements.

Stewart Keough, Strategy Development Director at IDS, commented: “We are delighted to have secured this opportunity to extend our long term working relationship with Scottish Water. The award of this framework demonstrates Scottish Water’s confidence in our ability to deliver a service that meets their needs and is testament to our strong delivery history in this discipline.”

IDS currently supplies telemetry services to approximately 30 clients including housing developers, water companies and local authorities. Its existing clients include Scottish Water, United Utilities, Edinburgh Council and Barratt Homes.
