Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, based in Exeter, United Kingdom, recently completed a selective tender under the Computer equipment and supplies industry category. The process was titled "IBM LTO7 M8 Tape and Label Supplied/Applied" and concluded with an award to PURE DATA SOLUTIONS LTD T/A TIEVA on 12th March 2025. The procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £37,540. Set in the South West region of the UK, the procurement covered a contract period from 12th March to 11th April 2025, with the award status being active as of 1st May 2025.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in the supply of computer equipment and allied goods, as the Met Office has demonstrated a preference for engaging with smaller enterprises in this instance, as shown by its selection of an SME supplier. Businesses operating within the technology and IT supply sectors could find similar calls from framework agreements a valuable avenue for growth, expanding their reach and credibility in public sector engagements. The process illustrates an active market for technology solutions within the government, potentially offering future opportunities for innovative and competitive enterprises in this field.
