What the notice says

The Met Office have a number of 'Frontline Sites' across and throughout the United Kingdom, housing an Automated Weather Station (AWS) or Radar Station. Accordingly, the Met Office are looking to appoint supplier(s) who can undertake and deliver a grounds maintenance service across and throughout our portfolio of Frontline Sites.
