Assessment summaries were sent to bidding suppliers on the 26th February 2026.\nThis notice is being posted retrospectively now registration issues have been resolved and to enable the publication of future notices relating to the Framework contracts.\nThe Framework:\nThe Met Office Academic Partnership (MOAP) is an established strategic partnership bringing together leading UK universities and the Met Office creating a network of research excellence, working together to advance weather and climate science, technology and skill.\nThe MOAP Science Delivery Framework (SDF) is the commercial mechanism for the Met Office to secure the external scientific expertise and resource needed to help deliver research and innovation priorities.",
