## Summary

The public procurement process involves the Bradford Metropolitan District Council as the buying organisation, seeking proposals for the "Winter Station Maintenance and Data Management" project. This initiative falls within the services category and is classified under meteorological instruments and weather-forecasting services. The location of the contract is in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract value set at GBP 300,000. The tender was published on 2nd June 2017 and the deadline for submissions was 3rd July 2017, while the contract period is set to commence on 7th August 2017, lasting until 6th August 2018.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in providing meteorological instruments, weather services, or maintenance of highway networks. Companies with expertise in weather forecasting technologies and reliable service provision may find it advantageous to compete for this contract, especially since there is potential for extending the contract with additional councils joining later. The open procurement method encourages a broad range of suppliers to participate, fostering a competitive environment that can lead to substantial growth.

## Notice

The Councils, namely City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Leeds City Council, Kirklees Council, Wakefield Metropolitan District Council and Calderdale Council have clear responsibilities to maintain their highway network in a safe condition and to achieve this, during winter, use a number of specialised services and equipment that require a high degree of reliability. The Contractor is to exercise proper control over the quality of service through his supervision. The Contractor is, in addition to his supervision during the work, to provide regular checks on all services and equipment as specified. Nothing in this specification nor omission from it shall be construed as relieving the Contractor of his duty to carry out all work in a proper manner in accordance with good working practices. Bidders should note that North Yorkshire County Council and City of York Council may join the Contract at the end of the first, second or third year if the option to extend the contract is pursued.
