What is being bought

Published requirement description

This procurement relates solely to the provision of Airtime and Webhosting services following the expiry of the initial installation period. It does not include the purchase or installation of Abriox loggers.

The Webhosting service element also covers the associated PressureTrac server, licensing, and data management fees required to support ongoing logger operation.

Procurement Description - Abriox Logger Airtime & Webhosting Services

Abriox loggers are widely deployed across the NGN network and are used to collect essential operational data. Their functionality supports two key areas of network management:

A. Cathodic Protection (CP) Pipeline Monitoring

Abriox loggers are installed at Cathodic Protection test points across remote areas of the network. They remove the need for monthly physical site visits by automatically recording CP readings and transmitting them to a central system on a daily basis. The devices also generate SMS alerts when readings fall below acceptable thresholds, enabling timely intervention.

B. Pressure Management

Abriox loggers are also used throughout the NGN network to capture and download pressure data. When originally procured and installed, the associated Airtime and Webhosting services were included within the respective supply and installation contracts.

Upon installation, each logger includes an initial 12 month Airtime and Webhosting package. The SIM cards provided at installation cannot be replaced or changed during the operational life of the loggers.
