This procurement exercise establishes a Open Services Framework. FASTER will be a Framework of suppliers up to the value of £57,000,000 including VAT. It will be an Open Framework.

FASTER aims to cover the use of scientific techniques and knowledge alongside technology solutions to explore and understand real world questions and challenges experienced by customers and end users of our weather and climate information and subsequently develop mitigation approaches and prototype solutions.
