Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office has successfully completed its procurement process for the "WISER MENA Regional Coordination Support" programme, aimed at providing regional coordination in the MENA region under its WISER initiative. The procurement method used was a direct award, rationale being the continuity of services by the Red Cross amidst the prevailing geopolitical climate. The contract, valued at GBP 143,020.37, runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The procurement falls under the services category with administration services and provision of community services as its primary components. The award was granted to the Stichting International Red Cross/Red Crescent Centre on Climate Change and Disaster Preparedness, a large-scale supplier located in The Hague, Netherlands, known for being a voluntary, community-based organisation.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness services, particularly those with expertise in regional coordination in challenging geopolitical environments. Companies that can provide robust administration services and community-focused initiatives would find themselves well-positioned for such procurements, especially organisations with a proven track record in international cooperation and large-scale service delivery. The opportunity showcases growth potential for enterprises willing to operate under direct award conditions, facilitating further international engagement and service continuity.
