Widening of sole supplier status

ABB has won a new five year framework agreement with Thames Water and broadened the scope of its sole supply arrangement to include an extended range of major instrument categories.

Traditionally ABB has been a flow partner to Thames Water, providing flow equipment alongside a group of favoured suppliers. Under the new agreement, it has extended its sole supplier status to encompass mains and battery powered electromagnetic flowmeters, insertion electromagnetic flowmeters, absolute and differential pressure transmitters and coriolis mass flowmeters.

The agreement follows a review of performance, whole-life maintenance costs and software upgrades.
