The Met Office has recently completed the awarding of a contract for the provision of carpeting across five floorplates at its headquarters located in Exeter, England. This procurement falls under the industry category of carpets, mats, and rugs, with an additional classification related to floor laying and covering work. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 23rd May 2025, with the contract awarded to Crown Flooring Ltd on 12th June 2025. The contract is set to commence on 16th June 2025 and will run until 18th December 2026, with a total value of £181,816.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the flooring and carpeting industry to expand their business by entering into agreements with organisations like the Met Office. The procurement process is particularly suited for SMEs due to the selective method employed, allowing niche providers to supply specific goods under a framework agreement. Businesses specialising in carpet installation and flooring solutions will find this contract advantageous as it aligns with industry standards and demands at a static location with specific trade classifications. This contract model not only facilitates growth through ongoing service requirements but also establishes long-term relationships with prominent public sector entities.
