Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Conference Room Upgrades" project was conducted by the Met Office, situated in Exeter, England. This project, classified under the audio-visual equipment category, involves the upgrade and maintenance of Met Office's conference rooms 1 & 2. It was successfully awarded to GVAV Limited on the 24th of October 2025, and the contract period is scheduled from the 17th of November 2025 to the 28th of November 2028. The procurement method employed was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, indicating a targeted selection of suppliers. The tender had a budget total of £144,853.8 GBP and primarily focused on the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for companies specializing in audio-visual technology and related maintenance services.
