Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured maintenance services for the radome at Hameldon Hill Radar. The work concerns the protective structure covering meteorological radar equipment, with the purpose of maintaining the radar installation. It is a specialist meteorological equipment service rather than a general building or telecommunications requirement. Delivery is at Hameldon Hill. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is associated with installation services for meteorological equipment, although the stated scope is specifically radome maintenance. Businesses with relevant radar-site, radome, meteorological equipment or specialist maintenance capability would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and is recorded as complete. The Met Office used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids had to be submitted by 20 January 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Raise Telecoms Ltd on 2 February 2026 for £22,304.10 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 18 September 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £22,304.10. This was a single requirement, with no separate lots identified. The award is active, and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This opportunity shows the Met Office buying short-duration, specialist maintenance for a meteorological radar radome through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in radome maintenance and experience working around operational radar or other meteorological equipment. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver concentrated site work safely, protect sensitive equipment, and complete maintenance to the required technical standard within a tightly defined service window. Framework access or a route to participate in the relevant framework would be important, since this procurement used a framework call-off. The requirement’s SME suitability indicates that a specialist smaller business can be an appropriate provider when it has the necessary technical competence and delivery capacity.
