Description
Wiltshire Council's current weather forecasting contract expires on 30th September 2025. The road weather forecast service is required so that Wiltshire Council can deliver an effective and efficient Winter Service and Highway Maintenance function, reacting in a timely and appropriate fashion to any hazards that may be presented to highway users in winter and optionally for supporting Highway Maintenance activities during the summer. Accordingly, the Council invites interested parties to a Pre Market Engagement (PME) event to be held via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday 27th May at 10.a.m. for approximately one hour. If you would like to attend this event, please use the "Messages" section in ProContract under the DN reference 774554 to advise us, and indicate who will attend from your organisation. We would be happy to invite up to two representatives from each organisation.
