## Summary

The Met Office commissioned specialist services to develop and deliver climate training materials for a specific sector. The work covers defining training needs, designing learning modules, preparing storyboards and supporting production of the final learning content. This is a climate services and research consultancy requirement, with the procurement classified as research consultancy services. The University of Leeds is the selected provider. Delivery is associated with the Met Office in Exeter, while the supplier is based in Leeds. The opportunity is relevant to organisations combining climate science, sector-focused training, learning design and content production, particularly those able to translate technical climate knowledge into structured training materials for professional users.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Met Office used a selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework, and the call-off was non-competitive. The University of Leeds received the award for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 13 February 2026. The contract runs from 13 August 2026 to 13 February 2027. Its value is £63,841 excluding VAT, or £76,609 including VAT. The requirement was assessed as below the applicable threshold. This was a framework award rather than an open competition, so the route to market was restricted to the framework arrangements used by the Met Office.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Met Office for specialist climate-training support that combines subject expertise with practical learning development. Competitors would need to understand the training needs of a defined sector, turn those needs into coherent learning-module designs, produce usable storyboards and work with production teams to deliver finished content. Strong candidates would therefore bring credible climate or environmental knowledge alongside instructional design, training consultancy, stakeholder engagement and content-development capability. The awarded supplier was a large university, indicating that an organisation with established research expertise and the capacity to combine specialist advice with structured educational production can be well placed for this type of requirement. Suppliers monitoring framework opportunities in climate services may find this buyer and requirement relevant.
