The contract value is £450,000, with a tender deadline of 17th July 2024. The contract is classified under IT services, and the contract period is from 27th March 2025 to 26th March 2028. The procurement is located in England and falls under the services category. This tender opportunity from the Met Office presents a lucrative chance for businesses in the IT services sector, especially those adept in providing online video platform solutions. Companies with expertise in consulting, software development, and internet services are well-suited to compete. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, offering potential growth opportunities for the selected vendor to support the Met Office's critical weather communication services. ## Notice Met Office require a complete end-to-end solution for uploading, transcoding, managing, delivering, analysing and monetising video content (On-Line Video Platform) . It needs to be an easy to navigate UI to make the system accessible and easy to use for non-technical team members (Weather Desk for example upload content) but it also provides an extensive set of API's and SDK's that the Met Office development team use to integrate with various platforms such as the native apps. The requirement requires knowledge of constantly developing new technologies and feature sets designed to overcome issues that constantly arise as a result of the ever-changing digital and technology landscape (networks, protocols, devices, browsers etc) which means that the Met Office can rely on the supplier for these things. We require customer service, 24 hours and quick fixes to video problems on the app and website, ensuring that the reputational risk is minimal to the Met Office, and we can fulfil our public task in communicating important weather information to the public. Without a specialist Online Video Platform, we would be unable to serve our video content to the public or to key content partners. This, in turn, would mean we would be unable to meet our PWS obligations to deliver presented and non-presented video to the public via our direct digital channels, e.g. web and app. The provision of these forecasts maintains the Met Office's authoritative voice and supports the UK public to make better decisions to stay safe and thrive. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb6b2142-a680-41c3-9685-d0d8b2f6951c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Mar 2025 - 26 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £450,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MET OFFICE | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX1 3PB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Pinhoe | | Westminster constituency | Exmouth and Exeter East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 5 Jun 2024 at 09:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb6b2142-a680-41c3-9685-d0d8b2f6951c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb6b2142-a680-41c3-9685-d0d8b2f6951c 5th June 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d0baa144-800c-ef11-812b-005056b64545&p=cca2f054-f21a-e711-80dd-005056b64545 Finding the opportunity ## Notice URLs - http://www.metoffice.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
