What is being bought

We are looking for partners to work with us to innovate our tools and visualisation systems to a new level of capability, using the very latest technologies for viewing, interpreting and creating the next generation of meteorological services. In April 2020, the Met Office ran an early market engagement for its future Visualisation tool. Since that exercise was completed, the Met Office has made the decision to expand the scope of the project to include some of the additional tools used by Operational Meteorologist to deliver services to its customers. By broadening this scope, the business seeks to introduce a modern, agile and future-proof toolset which provides the flexibility and resilience to deliver ongoing services to customers in an evolving market The Met Office wishes to understand the maturity of the marketplace and its potential to deliver the requirements set out in this document. Using the responses to this engagement, the Met Office is looking to build confidence that suitable suppliers exist to deliver the various capabilities and to validate/refine the initial rough order of magnitude costs that the project is currently using to build the project’s Business Case.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,054 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
