## Summary

The procurement process for the "Bureau Services - Winter Forecasting TPC2214" has been carried out by the Tayside Procurement Consortium based in Dundee, UK. This contract, classified under the services industry, pertains to the management of information related to winter roads maintenance across various locations including Angus and Dundee. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract, valued at £930,815, was signed on 14 March 2022. The service provision is scheduled to commence on 1 October 2022 and will cover a winter period ending on 30 April 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing integrated winter maintenance solutions, particularly those specialised in sensor technology and data management systems. Companies with experience in working with Vaisala sensors or similar technologies would be well-suited to compete, as the current contract favoured Vaisala Ltd due to the existing establishment of sensors in the network. Suppliers able to demonstrate the capability of delivering data management interfaces with real-time updates and those willing to offer additional services over the contract term may find substantial advantages in this sector.

## 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.
