## Summary

The Tayside Procurement Consortium is seeking evidence for the provision of Bureau Services related to Winter Forecasting, with the title "Bureau Services - Winter Forecasting TPC2214". This procurement falls under the service category of meteorology services and will be located across various areas including Angus, Dundee, Perth & Kinross, and Aberdeen City. The contract commenced on 1 October 2022 and will run until 30 April 2023. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication, reflecting the specific needs driven by existing partnerships, particularly with Vaisala road sensors. The contract value amounts to £930,815.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in meteorological information systems and those that have experience working with Vaisala products. Companies that specialise in sensor technology, data analytics, and system management solutions for road maintenance services will find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the existing market dynamics, where competition is limited due to technology compatibility, businesses that can provide complementary or innovative solutions to enhance the current services could find a strategic advantage in this procurement process.

## Notice

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.
