Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, located in Exeter, England, has completed the procurement process for the "Emp Licence" tender, classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV code: 48000000). This tender utilised a selective procurement method and involved a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates for this tender include the tender period end date of 14 February 2024 and the contract period spanning from 28 February 2025 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £436,416 GBP. The location for delivery is the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems to engage in substantial service provision, potentially yielding significant business growth. Given the nature of the procurement, smaller businesses (SMEs) are well-suited to compete, as the Met Office encourages participation from this segment. The selected supplier, TIMEWATCH PL, a small enterprise based in London, exemplifies the type of business that can thrive from such opportunities, providing both products and services to meet the Met Office's requirements under the framework agreement.
