## Summary

The Met Office has completed the procurement process for the project titled "RIS 1729 - AVs space weather assessment," under the industry classification of research services. This procurement is particularly relevant to the South West region of the United Kingdom and was executed through a direct procurement method via single tender action. The contract, valued at £18,000, was focused on delivering services between 27th March 2025 and 31st March 2025, with the award stage finalised on the 13th of March 2025.
