## Summary

The procurement process for constructing the East Anglia Radar tower and cabin has recently concluded with the award stage completed. The buying organisation, the Met Office, based in Exeter, England, spearheaded this project. The procurement fell under the "Radar station construction work" category, with an open procedure for tenders accepted until 6th March 2025. Key dates included the contract start on 20th March 2025 and its completion on 1st May 2025, with the location specified in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This project was valued at £742,273.28.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in large infrastructure projects. BRODY FORBES LTD, an SME located in Plymouth, was awarded the contract, highlighting the Met Office's preference for small to medium-sized enterprises.
