## Summary

Northumberland County Council procured a winter weather forecasting service for Northumberland and Newcastle City. The service provides detailed, location-specific weather and road-condition information to support winter service decisions. It combines current observations, weather forecasts and road-surface information, including air and pavement temperatures, precipitation, wind, frost and potential ice conditions. It can also draw on Road Weather Information Systems, enabling actual road conditions to be monitored alongside forecast data. This is a specialist weather-forecasting service, classified under CPV 71351600, delivered across the North East of England. The requirement is relevant to providers of operational meteorological information, road-weather intelligence and monitoring systems that can support local-authority gritting, winter maintenance and related transport decisions.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from the NEPO230 Weather Forecasting Services framework, using a direct award route. The award was made to DTN Europe UK Ltd on 4 September 2026 for £50,913.72 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement’s estimated value range was £12,728.43 to £50,913.72. The awarded contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Northumberland County Council is the buyer. The recorded outcome is one active award to DTN Europe UK Ltd. The service was procured as a contract for services rather than goods or works, and the tender record identifies the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award shows a local authority requirement for a mature, specialist winter-weather information service rather than a general forecasting product. Credible competitors would need to provide reliable location-specific forecasts alongside current observations and road-surface intelligence, including air and pavement temperatures, precipitation, wind, frost and potential ice conditions. The ability to integrate or use Road Weather Information Systems is important, as the buyer needs to compare forecast conditions with actual road conditions. Suppliers should therefore be able to support operational winter-service decisions across multiple local-authority areas, deliver consistent data throughout the service, and demonstrate the scale and technical capability expected for a large-provider framework call-off.
