## Summary

The Met Office procured maintenance services for the radome at its Chenies Radar site. A radome is the protective enclosure around radar equipment, so the requirement concerns specialist inspection, upkeep and associated maintenance of meteorological radar infrastructure. The work falls within the broader category of meteorological equipment installation services, although the stated requirement is specifically radome maintenance. Delivery is at the Chenies Radar location in the HP5 1XB area of England. This is a services opportunity for businesses that maintain radar installations, radomes or other weather-monitoring equipment, and for specialist engineering contractors able to work on operational meteorological infrastructure. The buyer is the Met Office, the UK’s national weather service and the organisation responsible for this radar asset.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 20 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded on 2 February 2026. Raise Telecoms Ltd was selected as supplier for £23,082.15 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. The procurement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was conducted as a services procurement. The published award is active. This outcome relates to one requirement for Chenies Radar radome maintenance; the award value and contract period apply to the selected supplier’s call-off rather than to a wider programme of radar maintenance work.

This award shows that the Met Office uses a framework call-off to buy short-duration, specialist maintenance for a meteorological radar radome. A credible future supplier would need practical experience maintaining radomes or comparable protective structures around radar and weather-monitoring equipment, with the engineering capability to work safely at an operational radar site. Relevant firms should be able to plan and deliver focused maintenance within a tightly defined service window, coordinate with the asset owner and protect equipment availability. The requirement was suitable for an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor can compete where it has the right technical competence, capacity and framework access. Experience of public-sector or critical infrastructure environments would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer’s requirement returns.
