Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured specialist maintenance services for the radome at Cobbacombe Radar. The requirement concerns the upkeep of a radar radome, the protective enclosure associated with meteorological radar equipment, helping maintain the equipment’s operational condition. It is a services contract, classified under installation services for meteorological equipment (CPV 51215000). Delivery is at Cobbacombe Radar, postcode EX16 7QJ. This is a single-site requirement for a named Met Office radar facility rather than a broad programme of maintenance across multiple locations. Businesses working in radar infrastructure, radome servicing, meteorological equipment installation or related technical maintenance would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Met Office used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 20 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded to Raise Telecoms Ltd on 2 February 2026. The awarded value is £23,082.15 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded procurement value is also £23,082.15 GBP. The published outcome names Raise Telecoms Ltd as the selected supplier and records the award as active.

This award demonstrates a focused requirement for specialist technical work on a meteorological radar radome, delivered through a framework call-off and suitable for an SME supplier. A credible future competitor would need practical experience maintaining, repairing or installing radomes and associated meteorological or radar equipment, with the technical capability to work safely and effectively at an operational radar site. Relevant firms are likely to be those combining enclosure or structural maintenance with knowledge of sensitive electronic, communications or weather-monitoring infrastructure. Framework access or a route to participate in comparable framework competitions would also be commercially important, since this buyer used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender.
