## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought a Micro Rain Radar, model MRR-PRO, for meteorological measurement. The equipment falls within radar and meteorological instruments. Delivery was to the United Kingdom. The procurement comprises a single requirement for the instrument; no further operational purpose or deployment site is described. UKRI is the buying organisation. The awarded supplier, METEK Meteorologische Messtechnik GmbH, is based in Elmshorn, Germany. This is a specialist equipment purchase rather than a service or works contract, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide micro rain radar systems and associated meteorological measurement equipment. The procurement record identifies the model but does not break the requirement down into further components or services.

The procurement is complete, and the contract is active. UKRI used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. METEK Meteorologische Messtechnik GmbH was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 26 April 2027. Its value is £31,782.47 excluding VAT (£38,138.96 including VAT). The award is for goods, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The process records no competitive evaluation or award criteria: the contract was placed directly with the selected supplier. The UKRI requirement was identified as an MRR-PRO micro rain radar. The contract remains active; no cancellation or termination is recorded.

This award demonstrates UKRI demand for specialist meteorological radar equipment, specifically a micro rain radar for measurement work. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need to provide equipment matching the required radar capability and model-level specification, and be able to deliver to the United Kingdom. The selected provider is a specialist meteorological measurement technology company, indicating that relevant product expertise and the ability to supply this type of instrument are central to credibility. The purchase was made through a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive scoring formula or wider qualification requirements. Businesses in the radar and meteorological instrumentation market can use the award as evidence of UKRI’s purchasing activity in this specialised equipment category.
