Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, located in Exeter, England, recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Scientific Publication Subscription." This initiative falls under the industry category of journals and was conducted using a direct procurement method with a single tender action, as the total contract value was below the relevant threshold. The tender period ended on 23rd October 2020, with the contract commencing from 24th October 2020 and running until 31st December 2021. The awarded contract is valued at £36,000.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the publishing or subscription service sectors, particularly those specialising in scientific journals. Given that the procurement method was direct and involved a single supplier, businesses that are agile and can deliver tailored subscription services may find it beneficial to engage with the Met Office for similar upcoming contracts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are notably welcome in this space, highlighting the potential for growth through participation in future public procurements.
