Description
The Met Office owns the Severe Space Weather Risk on the National Security Risk Assessment (NSRA) and receives funding from the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) to deliver a core national space weather capability to inform mitigation against the worst effects by government and critical sectors. Given the prominence of the severe space weather as a ‘significant’ risk on the UK Government’s NSRA and the higher than anticipated activity in this solar cycle, cross-government activity has increased putting greater demands and requirements on Met Office. Increased funding has been secured to resource these more demanding requirements focussed on improving UK preparedness for any future severe space weather event. Met Office Technology team is looking to supplement its internal resources to support the Space Weather programme from the technical perspective in full. For a number of years an external Delivery Partner has been used in a blended team supported by Met Office internal leadership team, and the intention is continue with this model of delivery The incumbent Space Weather Delivery Partner contract is due to complete in March 2026, however there is the potential for the replacement contract to commence in Q4 of 2025 due to the complex nature of the handover. The Met Office wishes to engage with the Market to procure a replacement Delivery Partner contract.
