Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured weather-forecasting services for Seychelles, described as “Seychelles ActionFirst support”. The work is intended to support forecasting in Seychelles. The selected supplier, Seychelles Meteorological Authority, is based in Victoria, Seychelles.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Met Office used a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to Seychelles Meteorological Authority. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £30,000.

This award shows that the Met Office buys weather-forecasting support for Seychelles and selected the Seychelles Meteorological Authority through a direct, non-competitive route.

The chosen supplier is the country’s meteorological authority, indicating that relevant local meteorological expertise is pertinent to this requirement.
