Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Tayside Procurement Consortium, which is responsible for acquiring "Bureau Services - Winter Forecasting" systems intended to manage information for the Winter Roads Maintenance Service in the geographical areas covering Perth & Kinross, Dundee, Angus, Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, and Moray Council. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with key dates indicating the contract was signed on 1st June 2017, and it follows a limited procurement method that did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, citing the oligopolistic market structure as a rationale. The service is specifically focused on the operational period from 1st October to 30th April.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT systems and services, particularly those with expertise in road maintenance data management and integration with Vaisala sensor technology. Companies that can deliver sophisticated information systems capable of providing real-time data, visualisation interfaces, and compatibility with existing components would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, stakeholders looking for ongoing collaborations in winter maintenance solutions may find a promising avenue for growth through this procurement process.

Notice Title

Bureau Services - Winter Forecasting

Notice Description

systems for managing information relating to the provision of our Winter Roads Maintenance Service from 1 October to 30 April only. Presently this involves communicating with Vaisala road sensors.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Systems for managing information relating to the provision of our Winter Roads Maintenance Service from 1 October to 30 April only. Presently this involves communicating with Vaisala road sensors. The successful service provider shall provide a system that will: a) display information via a map based user interface and permit access to underlying data from this display. b) display road sensor data to a resolution of not less than 10 minutes. c) permit data outputs in tabular and graphical formats.

Options: Additional purchases may be required throughout the term of the contract relating the provision of Bureau Services and allowing the optimum solution to be available maximising accuracy of the provision

Procurement Information

The market structure suggests an oligopoly, however as our current network is made up of Vaisala sensors and components, previous procurement exercises have suggested monopolistic competition where only Vaisala can provide the full provision. This we believe is due to the cost of change and each of the providers not being able to support each others components and collation of data from said components. If to be fully tender, we do not believe a differing outcome would be achieved due to the factors mentioned above.
