Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Scalable Climate Services" has been concluded by the Met Office, located in Exeter, England. The initiative falls within the research services category, aiming to deliver scalable climate services, including training and support. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The process commenced with a tender period that ended on 12th May 2025, and the procurement award was made on 19th May 2025. The project's contract is scheduled from 19th May 2025 to 18th November 2025. The total contract value is £62,226.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in climate research and service delivery, especially those with expertise in designing online training materials. Although the project was awarded to the University of Leeds, large-scale enterprises specialising in similar research fields and sustainable climate solutions would be well-matched to compete in future opportunities. Smaller entities, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, might find it challenging due to the scale requirements specified in this instance.
