Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office has concluded a public procurement process titled "Engineering Services HQ LV+HV replacement 2026". This project falls under the category of engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings, specifically located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. With the tender process now in the awarded stage as of 31st July 2026, the contract period is slated to begin on 1st August 2026 and conclude on 31st May 2028. The total contract value is £212,758 GBP.

Opportunities abound for businesses specialising in engineering design, particularly those focused on mechanical and electrical instalments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly suitable, given its objective of replacing the LV and HV systems across several blocks. ARUP, a large-scale supplier, has already been awarded the contract, setting a precedent for businesses that can offer competitive and comprehensive engineering services in similar future tenders by the Met Office or other government bodies.
