Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the UK SBS PR16163 Hydro-Met Monitoring Networks for African Cities has been initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, aiming to enhance meteorological and hydrological monitoring across four urban locations in Africa. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with a tender period that concluded on 6th September 2016 and an estimated contract value of £130,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply and installation of meteorological and hydrological instruments, particularly those specialising in data collection and dissemination. Companies with experience in large-scale infrastructure projects or those providing training in these fields would be well-suited to compete. The emphasis on high-resolution data systems could attract small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver innovative solutions within the hydro-meteorological sector.

Notice Title

UK SBS PR16163 Hydro-Met Monitoring Networks for African Cities

Notice Description

*** This tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision. *** Currently meteorological and hydrological monitoring falls under separate agencies in Africa, monitoring and data dissemination varies considerably between locations, and rarely are data considered in a system-based approach. Similarly, resources for new high resolution equipment are limited. Within this capital spend project we aim to establish monitoring that provides high resolution information to support meteorological services (e.g. through rain gauge installation) and catchment scale hydrology monitoring (e.g. through flow meter installation) in a single network for four urban locations in Africa. The main focus of Hydro-Met is to establish a number of monitoring networks and associated data that will support the work of 2 FCFA projects (AMMA-2050 and HyCristal) and on building capacity for local hydrological and meteorological agencies in the form of equipment, data and training. The networks will also provide data to other FCFA projects and the wider user community during the initial operational period of 2017 to 2019. After this period the equipment will be handed over to operational partners in the four countries to develop their operational monitoring capacity.
