What the notice says

United Utilities require the standardisation of the final effluent monitoring stations as part of UU's Project Blueprint programme. Project Blueprint is UU's strategic standardisation programme, focused on creating and deploying standardised assets, systems and solutions across the business. By adopting an industrialised approach to the design, procurement and delivery of assets, Blueprint aims to reduce engineering and commercial effort, improve delivery efficiency, lower whole-life costs and carbon emissions, and enhance operational consistency.
