Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured maintenance of the radome protecting its Predannack Radar installation. The requirement is a specialist meteorological equipment service, involving maintenance work associated with the radar’s radome rather than the supply of general telecommunications or building services. The work is located at Predannack in Cornwall. The procurement is classified under CPV 51215000, covering installation services for meteorological equipment. This is a service contract for the Met Office, so relevant suppliers are those able to maintain radar-related protective structures and equipment in an operational meteorological setting. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a capable specialist business without necessarily requiring the scale of a major national contractor.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Met Office used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 20 January 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The contract was awarded to Raise Telecoms Ltd on 2 February 2026 for £24,447.15 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 27 August 2026. The award is active and covers the Predannack Radar radome maintenance requirement. The recorded procurement estimate and awarded value are the same. The award information identifies Raise Telecoms Ltd as the sole supplier. The procurement data does not set out separate lots or an award scoring breakdown.

This award shows that the Met Office buys short-duration, specialist maintenance for radar radomes through framework call-offs, creating a useful benchmark for suppliers targeting similar public-sector requirements. A credible competitor would need practical experience maintaining radomes or comparable protective enclosures around meteorological, radar or other sensitive technical equipment. Relevant capability is likely to include inspection, planned maintenance, fault identification, repair coordination and safe work in an operational site environment. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable mobilisation, competent engineering or telecommunications personnel, suitable health and safety controls, and the capacity to complete focused maintenance assignments. SME suitability indicates that a specialist firm with an appropriate framework position and proven delivery record can compete effectively for this type of Met Office work.
