UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office commissioned the creative development, design, production, installation and deployment of Space Weather Reverence, a large-scale immersive audio-visual light art installation. The requirement is for artistic creation and interpretation services, combining creative work with the technical production and deployment of an immersive installation. The Met Office is the buying organisation, based in Exeter. Delivery is identified as being in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated. The work is a single requirement rather than a collection of separately described service lines, and it centres on producing and installing the finished artwork.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ONYVA STUDIO LTD. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026, with a contract period running from 21 October 2026 to 30 April 2027; it may be extended for two further 12-month periods, to a maximum end date of 30 April 2029. The awarded contract value is £95,000 excluding VAT (£114,000 including VAT). The process was described as below threshold, with the specific method not identified. It was a single lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows the Met Office has bought a substantial, immersive audio-visual artwork, requiring a supplier able to take a creative concept through design and production to installation and deployment. Competitors for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate artistic capability alongside practical delivery skills: producing integrated light and audio-visual experiences at large scale, managing installation, and delivering a finished work for a public-sector organisation. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of creative services was delivered by an SME. The requirement was procured below the applicable threshold and as one lot, so a credible competitor would need to be able to provide a coordinated end-to-end service rather than bid for a separate component.
