Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council sought a route-based winter weather forecasting service for its highways network, covering 17 routes across East Riding of Yorkshire. The requirement is for specialist weather forecasting that can support winter highways operations, such as planning and responding to weather conditions affecting routes. It is a services contract for a public-sector highways authority, rather than the supply of equipment or general meteorological consultancy. Suppliers should therefore be able to deliver route-specific forecasting for operational road maintenance and winter service teams. The council is the buying organisation and would use the service for its own highways activities. The requirement suits providers with an established capability in winter weather forecasting and the operational delivery of forecasts across multiple road routes.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers using an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 23 June 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The planned award decision date was 10 August 2026. The contract was planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with one option to extend it to 30 September 2030. Its estimated value was £326,000, or £391,200 gross, in GBP. There was one lot. Tenders were to be evaluated 40% on price and 60% on quality, assessed through method statements. The council cancelled the procurement on 24 August 2026 because it concluded that it was not appropriate to proceed to award and decided to discontinue the exercise.

This requirement suits specialist weather forecasting providers able to produce route-based information for highways winter operations. Strong candidates would have the technical capability to forecast conditions at a sufficiently local level across 17 separate routes, and the operational capacity to provide a dependable service to a council and its winter maintenance teams. Experience of highways weather forecasting, winter service planning or related road network operations would be directly relevant. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers would need to explain their proposed delivery approach clearly through method statements. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No particular accreditation or formal qualification is stated as a condition of participation.
