NOVEMBER 03, 2010/LONDON – IMServ, a leading carbon and energy consultancy and part of Invensys Operation Management, has won its biggest ever contract with BT, the UK’s largest telecoms provider. IMServ has been working with BT for the last nine years and the contract renewal follows a competitive tender process.

The five year contract comprises the collection of data relating to electricity consumption from Half Hourly and Non Half Hourly automated meters (AMRs), managing an existing portfolio of 20,000 meters throughout the UK mainland and the highlands. In addition, IMServ will provide further meters for Openreach to support the roll out of Super Fast Broadband. IMServ will also provide meters to BT for its submetering tenants to monitor electricity in their telephone exchanges.

Andrew Houlston, Procurement Manager, BT said:
“This contract represents a critical element of our strategy to reduce our energy consumption and carbon emission to meet our carbon reduction and CSR targets.
We have had an excellent working relationship with IMServ to date and we needed a safe pair of hands to deliver a project of this scale.”

Steve Brown, Managing Director, IMServ commented on the deal: “This deal with BT is fantastic for the business and it reflects our expertise in complex, large scale AMR installations.  It’s a great endorsement from BT that our nine year relationship has been extended and this contract represents the largest so far in 2010.”

IMServ has been a leader in the industry since 1992 and is the UK’s biggest energy data collector, collecting data from more than 100,000 sites on a daily basis - this represents 30% of the UK’s total energy consumption data.  Being Europe’s largest independent supplier of AMR services, IMServ also offers complete end-to-end outsourced solutions as well as individual services across three key areas – Data, Insight and Carbon & Energy saving – to help organisations including Boots, ASDA and the Arcadia Group save energy, reduce costs, control carbon and be greener.
