Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office has completed the procurement process for the project titled "RIS 1729 - AVs space weather assessment," under the industry classification of research services. This procurement is particularly relevant to the South West region of the United Kingdom and was executed through a direct procurement method via single tender action. The contract, valued at £18,000, was focused on delivering services between 27th March 2025 and 31st March 2025, with the award stage finalised on the 13th of March 2025. The University of Surrey has been awarded this contract, highlighting a targeted approach to acquiring specialist research capabilities.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in providing specialised research services within the space and meteorological sectors. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find similar projects attractive as the procurement criteria favour this segment by limiting the competition to below-threshold tender actions. Businesses that offer cutting-edge technological solutions and possess expertise in space weather assessment could find themselves well-suited for such contracts, allowing them to expand their portfolios and strengthen collaborations with prominent organisations such as the Met Office.
