Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured engineering design services for the replacement of low-voltage and high-voltage systems at its headquarters, covering Blocks C to H. The requirement is for mechanical and electrical installation design for buildings, including the engineering input needed to plan and support the replacement works. Delivery is in the South West of England, with the Met Office as the buying organisation. This is a building-services engineering opportunity rather than a construction contract: relevant suppliers are those able to design electrical and mechanical systems for a complex headquarters environment and support the associated LV and HV infrastructure requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 to ARUP. The award value is £212,758. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 May 2028. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The contract covers one engineering-services requirement for the Met Office headquarters project in Blocks C to H. The tender had a submission deadline of 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome identifies ARUP as the successful supplier, with an active award for the full stated requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from the Met Office for specialist building-services engineering covering both low-voltage and high-voltage replacement projects, alongside mechanical and electrical installation design. Suppliers that would be credible for a future requirement should be able to combine electrical engineering expertise, including LV and HV systems, with mechanical and building-services design capability. Experience of working on complex occupied or operational headquarters environments would be relevant, as would the capacity to coordinate multiple building blocks and disciplines. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist SMEs with the necessary technical capability and framework access could be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to market.
