## Summary

East Riding of Yorkshire Council commissioned winter weather forecasting services for delivery in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The requirement is for weather forecasts supporting the council’s winter-weather needs. It is a services contract for weather-forecasting work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to METDESK LIMITED. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £79,749.78 excluding VAT (£95,699.74 including VAT). The procurement comprised one lot. No award evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for winter weather forecasting. A supplier considering similar future work would need to provide weather-forecasting services suited to the council’s winter-weather requirement. METDESK LIMITED, recorded as an SME, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition; the process therefore does not establish competitive evaluation criteria or particular accreditations, staffing levels or technical requirements. The contract’s one-year period and value indicate a defined service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Suppliers with relevant forecasting capability can use this award as evidence of the type and scale of service the council has bought.
