UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured weekend and bank holiday studio support for its Weather Reader service. This is a specialist support service for broadcast weather presentation. The work is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Swantech Logistics Limited, an Exeter-based supplier. The Met Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2027. Its value is £47,748.96 excluding VAT (£57,298.75 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the studio support service.

This award shows demand from the Met Office for weekend and bank holiday studio support for Weather Reader. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need to demonstrate they can provide dependable studio support across those out-of-hours periods and understand the demands of weather presentation. Swantech Logistics Limited, a small business, was selected for the requirement. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation basis or specific qualifications and accreditations required.
