A solution for the delivery of a winter bureau & helpdesk service with upgrade and maintenance of outstation equipment.  

The objectives of this solution are to: 

• Provide the operation and maintenance to a network of existing weather station equipment owned by Contracting Authorities. This includes physical inspection, calibration, maintenance, repair and modification to the outstation equipment.  
• Enable the collection and management of data from each outstation, with remote monitoring of weather conditions. 
• Provide a maintained Bureau service, with a helpdesk, which enables users to view, download and monitor data and information collected from road outstations, also to identify any faulty data, indicating a fault arising on an outstation. The Bureau will be accessible to the Forecasting provider, with functionality for the provider to access and utilise collected data and to upload their forecast information, for the Member Authority users to view and access. 
• Additional back up of bureau data and forecasting information in the event of Bureau system becoming unavailable  
• Supply and installation of replacement weather outstation equipment to sites throughout NEPO, at a point in time which individual Contracting Authorities initiate their call off.
