A fully advertised Open process was commenced in March 2025 and resulted in three (3) compliant responses which were evaluated in accordance with the defined process.
The preferred supplier following this was the current incumbent Enerveo. Just prior to signing, the supplier announced an embargo on new multi-year contracts pending decisions regarding the company's future. Although the ITT for the retender provided Met Office with an option to award contract to next highest scoring bidder if it was unable to proceed with the preferred bidder, the Met Office elected not to invoke this option.
Met Office then commenced a 2nd competition via the CCS framework agreement for the provision of network services (RM6116) however, received a nil response to the ITT issued on 20th October 2025.
Prior to the commencement of the framework further competition Enerveo showed an interest in bidding and indicated that the embargo had been lifted and they would now be in a position to deliver the required services via a multi-year agreement. They were advised that they would not be able to bid given the use of the framework agreement however, as that process was unsuccessful, Met Office would now like to renew the contract with Enerveo for a period of two years from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2027.
