Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the "WISER MENA Regional Coordination Support" with a direct award contract. Located in Exeter, the Met Office is coordinating its programme within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, focusing on regional coordination activities. The contract, valued at £143,020.37, is aimed at administration and community provision services and spans from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. This procurement was conducted through a direct award to the Stichting International Red Cross/Red Crescent Centre on Climate Change and Disaster Preparedness, leveraging their ability to maintain services in the current geopolitical environment. Key dates include a pending award scheduled for signature by 23 March 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in climate change, disaster preparedness, and regional coordination services, particularly those capable of providing administrative and community services in challenging geopolitical contexts. Businesses with a focus on international collaborations and large-scale operations would benefit significantly from participating, gaining international exposure and creating networks within the MENA region. Although the contract has been directly awarded to a single supplier, similar future opportunities may arise for companies capable of maintaining and expanding vital services under complex conditions. The direct award method underscores the value of established expertise and capabilities within specific regional environments.
