This platform will enhance the management and maintenance of scientific assets, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the quality and reliability of data collected from field and laboratory equipment. Initially this AMS will be required to support the FDRI project, however, eventually the AMS will be adopted as a company-wide solution, therefore we are looking for a product that can be scalable. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) has been issued to notify the market of the intention to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the next 1-12 months. This document is not a call for competition. Any comments, indications of interest, participation, or non-participation by any organisation at this stage will not influence the process, selection and/or award decision for any future possible procurement. ### Project background The UKCEH is running the FDRI as an innovative long-term programme which, for the first time in the UK, will monitor the whole hydrological system, to improve resilience to floods and droughts. The project will establish a nationwide Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure, offering near real-time data to the hydrological community.
