Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) based in Swindon has completed the procurement process for the provision of meteorological data analysis services in Antarctica. The contract titled "GB-Swindon: UKRI-4592 Meteorological Data Analysis" falls under the industry category of weather-forecasting services (CPV code 71351600). The procurement process followed a negotiated procedure without prior publication, concluding with the contract award on 22 January 2025. The contract period spans from 26 January 2025 to 28 February 2025 with an estimated contract value of £18,154.13 (GBP). The awarded supplier for this project is the Met Office located in Exeter.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses experienced in providing meteorological services, particularly those with a capability to operate in extreme environments like Antarctica. While the procurement was specifically awarded to a large-scale organisation (the Met Office), similar future opportunities might suit medium to large-sized enterprises with specialised expertise in weather forecasting and data analysis. Companies within the relevant industry can leverage such contracts to expand their portfolio, enhance their market presence, and develop strategic partnerships with key public sector entities like UKRI.
