## Summary

The Met Office bought temperature and humidity sensors for deployment, classified as temperature or humidity surface-observing equipment (CPV 38126300). This is a supply requirement for environmental monitoring equipment. The Met Office is the buying organisation, based in Exeter. The equipment is for delivery in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Met Office awarded the requirement to Vaisala Limited through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 23 October to 13 November 2026. Its value is £14,596.12 excluding VAT and £17,515 including VAT. The procurement was treated as one lot, and the award covers the sensor supply. The available information identifies no separate evaluation criteria; the route used did not involve competition. Vaisala Limited was the selected supplier.

This award shows demand from the Met Office for temperature and humidity sensors used in surface observation and deployment. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement in future would need to provide suitable sensors for environmental monitoring and demonstrate that their equipment meets the buyer’s operational needs. The selected supplier was Vaisala Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a business of this scale supplied the requirement. The procurement used a direct, non-competitive route, so the award does not reveal comparative scoring or a set of evaluated capabilities. For suppliers, the relevant commercial fit is the ability to supply the specified sensor equipment to a central government weather and forecasting organisation.
