The estimated value of £30 million for this Framework is based on the potential demand and varying length of contracts which the Met Office may seeks to award through it. The potential framework will help transform the Met Office by supporting the following Strategic Actions identified by the MO: • Developing and nurturing capability partnerships • Delivering a Common Met Office Data Platform • Exploiting the future of data sciences • Taking a common approach to customer data services The Met Office is therefore establishing a framework with a number of companies who can help with that transformation, both by bringing new skills and knowledge and by bolstering the capacity and capability of existing Met Office teams to deliver required outcomes. This should also include being able to supply additional resource to augment teams if and where further gaps are identified, ensuring up-skilling is provided if required. This does not include contingent labour which the Met Office have separate contractual arrangements in place for. The Met Office's new strategy requires a significant step change in technology systems, resources and ways of working. This is encapsulated in a number of ‘Strategic Actions’. Several of these actions will be realised via programmes of work with both customer benefit and technology at their heart. The amount of change ahead is large and many of these changes are interrelated and complex, and the Met Office cannot make these changes alone. By extending our capacity and capability, we can move faster and focus on the areas we add real value by leveraging the expertise of partners. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Applications Development - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 72200000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £7,000,000 - **Description:** “The ability to build and deliver customer and business facing applications from well elaborated requirements“ This lot is intended for suppliers who will largely be working with the Met Office, where we will be defining requirements and supervising ... ### Lot 2: Applications Design, Development & Support - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 72200000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £8,000,000 - **Description:** An overlapping category that distinguishes larger organisations that can deliver and support the end to end discovery and live phases of any capability from outline requirements.
