## Summary

The Association of North East Councils is seeking to establish a framework contract for Weather Forecasting Services, designated as NEPO230. This initiative primarily aims to assist NEPO Contracting Authorities in their Winter Service Management Requirements by utilising road weather data. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having commenced on 2nd August 2019. The contract duration is set from 5th August 2019 to 4th August 2023, with a total value of £850,000. The tender was published on 16th April 2019 and was conducted through an open procurement method, concluding on 28th May 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in weather forecasting and related services, particularly those capable of leveraging existing data systems. Companies specialising in meteorological services, data analytics, and IT solutions for forecasting would find this opportunity particularly well-suited for growth. As the contract facilitates the provision of vital services that support public authorities in managing winter weather impacts, firms with expertise in these areas are encouraged to participate in future tender processes.

## Notice

NEPO seeks to establish a framework contract for Weather Forecasting Services, which will support NEPO Contracting Authorities in delivering their Winter Service Management Requirements. The Forecasting Service provider will utilise road weather data, which is collected and made available under an existing NEPO Framework (NEPO217 Weather Bureau and Helpdesk Service with Upgrade and Maintenance of Outstation Equipment). Weather Forecasting Services are required to be provided in conjunction with the utilisation of the collected data and the development of forecasting information, which is to be made available to Contracting Authorities via upload to the existing Bureau system.
