This process falls under the data analysis services industry category and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in Exeter, UKK region. The procurement method was direct, conducted below the threshold without competition, and the procurement process has reached the award stage as of 2nd June 2026. The awarded contract is active from 2nd June 2026 to 31st May 2027, with a total contract value of USD 53,100.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in meteorological data analysis and related services could find such contracts beneficial for growth, even though this specific tender was awarded directly without competition.
