Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured HVAC project support services for work in the South West of England. The requirement covers cost management and project support for HVAC-related projects, including construction supervision, construction consultancy, construction management and site-investigation services. It is a professional services contract rather than a construction works package, and may suit firms providing project controls, commercial management and technical support around building services or construction programmes. The procurement sits within the broader construction-related services category. The buyer is the Met Office, based in Exeter, and delivery is in the South West. The scope also includes a classification for blacksmith services, although the main requirement is cost management and project support associated with HVAC projects.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the NHS SBS Framework SBS10190. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 18 September 2026 to Ward Williams Associates for £60,335.44 including the stated currency, pounds sterling. The contract runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active and covers the same two-year contract period. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was procured as a services contract, with the framework call-off route determining participation. The published information records the completed outcome and selected supplier, rather than an invitation to submit a new bid.

This award indicates demand from the Met Office for specialist support around HVAC projects, with emphasis on cost management and project support rather than direct installation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience in construction consultancy, commercial cost control, project management and supervision of building-services or HVAC work. Useful capability would include assessing site conditions, managing project costs, coordinating delivery and providing clear advice to a public-sector client. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused consultancy rather than only a large national contractor. Firms with relevant construction-management experience, sufficient professional capacity to support projects across the South West and a record of reliable technical reporting would be well placed when comparable work returns to market.
