## Summary

This procurement process, overseen by the Met Office, focused on securing WISER Media expert support services for East Africa during 2026-2027. Categorised under 'Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security,' this contract was awarded on 26 March 2026. The Met Office, a public authority under the central government of the United Kingdom, initiated the tender using a direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition. The awarded contract commenced on 23 February 2026 and runs until 31 March 2026, with potential extensions until 2028 if funding permits. The Norwegian Refugee Council, identified as the supplier, will deliver services in Kenya. The contract's gross value stands at £69,000 with options to extend and increase its value.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in media, consultancy, or related services to penetrate the East African market. Particularly advantageous for firms with expertise in supporting NGO operations or governmental projects in international settings, given the Met Office's involvement. As the procurement method did not involve competition, it highlights the importance of establishing ongoing relationships with government entities for future tenders. Businesses with a large scale and capability to operate in Kenya or across East Africa would be ideally positioned to benefit from similar tenders or extensions of existing contracts.
