Provision of a Winter Bureau and Weather Station Maintenance Service

The Humber Group (Hull City, North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire Councils) operate a Road Weather Information System (RWIS), which comprises a network of roadside weather stations (\"Outstations\"), and a centralised weather data management service ('Bureau Service'). This specification outlines the requirements for the provision and operation of the Bureau Service, the maintenance of associated software, and the operation and maintenance of the network of the Outstations and Non - Invasive Outstations and ice warning signs on the A15 between The Humber Bridge and M180. The Authorities rely on their weather station networks for their winter operations. There are a mix of technologies on the network and require a Contractor who has the proven technical capability to process and display data from all weather station types. The Contractor must therefore demonstrate that they have the experience and competence in collecting and processing data from RoSA, RWS200 and non-invasive, DST111/DSC111 based stations. These are all working on specific message formats using a combination of dedicated internet communications and dial-up processes and this is to ensure reliable and efficient data transfer of data/images.
