Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, located in Exeter, England, recently completed a procurement process for an external audit valued at £58,000. This contract, classified under accounting, auditing and fiscal services, followed a direct procurement method through a single tender action as it was below the threshold. The tender period ended on 15 November 2017, with the contract effective from 16 November 2017 until 29 June 2018.

This procurement presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in auditing and accounting services to expand their portfolios. Businesses that can provide comprehensive audit services are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, as demonstrated by the successful bidder, the National Audit Office, which illustrates the market potential for experienced suppliers in this field.
