Land Observations Networks Modems and Sims - Re-tender
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The submission route named on the official notice.
This sits in the upper-middle of the IT Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 36,449 valued IT Services tenders in our corpus.
Met Office publishes IT Services work continuously — 194 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
70% of Met Office’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
We operate a network of around 300 automatic weather stations (AWS), mostly in the UK, but also a small number overseas.
The weather observation data collected at these sites is collated on a logger at site and then communicated every minute to our central cloud based system in real time.
Some sites have mains power, some operate on a 50W solar panel.
The majority of sites have 4G connectivity, but there are a subset that only have 2G connectivity at present.
We are looking for a supplier to provide a communications solution to allow for the real time transfer of our land surface observation data to our central cloud based collection system every minute in real time.
