## Summary

The Met Office is seeking a provider for a one-year contract to establish a standing public panel for weather forecasting research. The procurement process involves qualitative research methodologies and small-scale surveys to measure the public's perceptions of accuracy in weather forecasts. The contract value is £60,000 in GBP, with a tender closing date of 15th September 2023 and a contract period from 16th October 2023 to 15th October 2024.

This tender opportunity from the Met Office is suitable for service providers interested in research and development services related to weather forecasting. Businesses with expertise in qualitative research methodologies and experience in conducting public perception studies would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this procurement process, which falls under the main procurement category of services.

## Notice

Met Office is seeking a provider to establish a standing public panel for a period of one (1) year to provide research into perceptions relating to weather forecasting. The primary aim of the specified requirements will be to provide a direct, responsive and cost-effective channel for the voice of the public as citizens, users or potential users of the Met Office products and services to inform changes to the PWS weather service. It will complement current research approaches by using qualitative research methodologies (and small-scale surveys). The creation of a representative standing public panel will allow the Met Office to measure the public's perceptions of accuracy on a real-time basis by asking them to compare forecasts to the weather observed at a given moment in time.
