Original Tender Description

The Met Office is responsible for services delivering meteorological observations to a global audience on behalf of three EUMETNET Observations Programmes (E-Profile, EGVap and E-ABO). The Met Office has delivered these observations services for more than a decade. The IT systems delivering the services managed by the Met Office, on behalf of EUMETNET, are commonly known as Datahubs. The E-ADAS (EUMETNET AMDAR data acquisition system) Datahub processes AMDAR observations from European airlines that are part of the EUMETNET aircraft-based observations programme (EABO). The E-Profile Datahub processes data from several types of observing instrument that vertically profile the atmosphere. These instruments include radar wind-profilers, automatic LIDARs and Ceilometers. The E-GVap Datahub is the simplest of the three. The E-GVap Datahub receives data in a standard format (from the geodetic community) and converts these data into a format that can be used by NMHSs. The three Datahubs are currently operational but are reaching end-of-life due to their age and deployment on Met Office on-premises platforms (LINUX VMs). The use of on premises platforms is contrary to the Met Office strategy of using public cloud (i.e.Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services). To ensure the long-term viability of the datahubs, the Met Office is looking to work with a partner to redevelop and then operationally support all three datahubs.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for the redevelopment and support of meteorological data hubs is generally well-structured, with clear technical requirements and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure, which is standard. The CPV code is appropriate. While no specific disputes are mentioned, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and a reveal date could be a minor compliance concern. Deadlines are provided, but their reasonableness is subjective without context.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the project and the required functionalities for the data hubs is clear and detailed. Technical capabilities are well-defined, outlining the scope of redevelopment and migration. The purpose and context of the data hubs are adequately explained.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the tender documents themselves are not accessible or summarized, which significantly impacts completeness. The AI-extracted requirements are helpful but do not substitute for official documentation.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, allowing broad participation. The estimated value is disclosed, and the technical requirements appear objective and focused on necessary capabilities. The procedure is standard, and there's no indication of tailoring to specific companies. E-procurement is implied but not explicitly stated as mandatory.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of explicit mention of e-submission and the unavailability of document URLs hinder practical assessment. Financing information is not detailed.

No e-submission mentioned
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logically sequenced.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits the assessment of sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria mentioned
