Tender description
Understanding and improvement of AI models will require a broad set of evaluation metrics. These should include and expand upon the rich set of metrics that have been used in physics-based model development. Existing open-source climate model evaluation tooling will therefore need to be applied to both Machine Learning (ML) and physics-based models. This call invites proposals to deliver capability enhancements to the open-source climate model evaluation tool ESMValTool, with a focus on enabling the comparison of AI and physics-based models, understanding the suitability of physics-based models for training AI models, and enabling this tooling to interface to the next generation of data formats and platforms that will be used for hosting model and observation data. Keywords: Research, Evaluation of AI Climate Models

About the buyer
Met Office buys as a central government agency, delivering weather and climate services as an executive agency and trading fund of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. Tenders run through the Met Office's own ProActis portal, with opportunities and awards also published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Collaborative government agreements route much of its buying through the Crown Commercial Service, alongside the ESPO and YPO frameworks. Standard contracts are awarded through desktop competitions or full tender exercises, usually inviting four or more suppliers to bid. The commercial team runs this process, following Cabinet Office best practice.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of Met Office's contract awards have been in software and information systems, research and development and IT services.
