## Summary

In September 2025, The North Yorkshire Council completed a procurement process for weather forecasting and bureau services through an open procedure. The contracts are classified under weather-forecasting services (CPV: 71351600) and cover regions in and around North Yorkshire (UKE22, UKE, UK). After the tender concluded on 21 March 2025, contracts were awarded to MetDesk Ltd and Vaisala Ltd, marking the transition to the award stage. These contracts, signed on 1 September 2025, offer strategic weather services across the council area, potentially enhancing infrastructure management. 

This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering detailed meteorological data and station maintenance services. Suppliers in the weather forecasting and data capture sectors, especially those with the capability to offer both forecasting and bureau services, are well-suited to compete, given the council's interest in proposals that combine both services for operational efficiency. SMEs, like the contracted MetDesk Ltd, can leverage this opportunity to expand their local government service portfolios within the regional authority framework.

## Notice

To procure this service through an Open procedure and establish two contracts encompassing the Winter Forecasting and Bureau Service elements across the council area. A variant option for a combined offer will also be included as these projects will be offered to the market in tandem. From the market research there are some suppliers in the market who could fulfil both contracts and there could be opportunity to delivery efficiencies from a variant. Any variant will only be reviewed one the compliant bids have been evaluated and provisional preferred supplier identified
