## About this tender

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES ONLY, ONLY CAPABLE SUPPLIERS UNDER THE DIGITAL SERVICES FRAMEWORK WILL BE INVITED TO BID.

The original WOW (Weather Observations Website) was developed in 2011 in partnership with the Department for Education and the Royal Meteorological Society and was funded by a capital grant from BIS. The technology was built by a third party, PA Consulting, and is hosted on the Google cloud platform. At the time this was an innovative use of technology for Government and has received a number of industry awards. The platform has become extremely well used and now contains over 440 million observations from around the world. WOW is also the primary operational system within the Met Office Observations Group for climate observers to submit their daily observations to the Met Office. A trial has been underway with the Australian, Dutch and New Zealand Met Offices to explore the feasibility of providing WOW to another National Meteorological Service. Although this has been successful, the pilot has identified a number of opportunities to improve the system especially in terms of creating a more flexible and adaptable system.
