## Summary

The procurement process involves a direct award by the Met Office, based in Exeter, United Kingdom, pertaining to the acquisition of "Turbulence Aware Data" services from IATA, a large-scale supplier headquartered in Montreal, Canada. This contract falls under the industry category of data services, classified as central government public authority engagement. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract having been signed on the 6th of May 2026, and the service provision period commencing on the 14th of May 2026, continuing until the 31st of March 2029. The procurement was conducted as a direct award due to the unique ability of IATA to supply the required data, with services delivered within the UK region.

Businesses equipped to deliver specialised data services that match the Met Office's technical and strategic needs, similar to IATA's niche provision in ‘Turbulence Aware Data’ for aviation, are well-suited to compete in such direct award scenarios. Engaging with government contracts such as this one can bolster a company's portfolio and strengthen its foothold in supplying highly specialised data solutions within the UK market.
