Queensland Urban Utilities (QUU) is issuing this Invitation to Offer (ITO) for a software and infrastructure upgrade to its existing SCADA Platform, Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and Telemetry Technology (including switchboards) in the immediate future. This upgrade will incorporate the adoption of ClearSCADA software as the preferred SCADA operating software across the QUU Service Area.
