Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council commissioned winter weather forecasting services for delivery in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The requirement is for weather forecasts supporting the council’s winter-weather needs. It is a services contract for weather-forecasting work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to METDESK LIMITED. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £79,749.78 excluding VAT (£95,699.74 including VAT). The procurement comprised one lot. No award evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for winter weather forecasting. A supplier considering similar future work would need to provide weather-forecasting services suited to the council’s winter-weather requirement. METDESK LIMITED, recorded as an SME, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition; the process therefore does not establish competitive evaluation criteria or particular accreditations, staffing levels or technical requirements. The contract’s one-year period and value indicate a defined service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Suppliers with relevant forecasting capability can use this award as evidence of the type and scale of service the council has bought.
