## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University, which conducted a tender for the supply of weather stations and rain gauges under the title "NU/1195-17". This falls within the category of goods focused on instruments for checking physical characteristics, specifically within the meteorological instruments sector. The procurement process reached its award stage on 8th October 2018, with the contract being completed on 10th December 2018. The total value of the awarded contract was £76,950, with delivery required to the North East region of England. The tender period concluded on 28th August 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the field of environmental monitoring and instrumentation, particularly those specialising in meteorological equipment and related technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete for such contracts, given their capacity for innovation and niche offerings in sensor technology and data analysis. Companies involved in the supply and commissioning of weather-related instruments should consider exploring similar tenders to enhance their market presence.

## Notice

Purpose of sensor deployment: to increase the spatial coverage of weather parameters within the area covered by our X-Band weather radar (36 and 108 km radius from Claremont tower, Newcastle University; http://uoweb3.ncl.ac.uk/radar/ ). These instruments will be used to calibrate the radar as part of a research project, Flood prepared (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/engineering/research/civil/water/projects/flood-prepared.html ) and will be sited at various locations in and out of the city. We are looking to purchase up to 10 Automatic weather stations (AWS) and up to 20 telemetered Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges (TBR). The scope is for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the equipment as detailed, with after sales support, a minimum 12 months parts and labour warranty and maintenance. This requirement is only being advertised to the Weather Sensors Lot of (NU/1195) Newcastle University Urban Observatory Sensors Dynamic Purchasing System
