Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for antenna installation work, classified under CPV code 45312300, was executed by the Met Office, a renowned institution located in Exeter, England. This procurement, valued at £158,221.50, concluded at the award stage and was carried out using a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication above the threshold. The work is to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract period outlined from 18th March 2025 to 5th September 2025. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, though not for VCSEs, with the tender officially closing on 4th March 2025. The award to the supplier, Antennas for Communications, was published on 1st May 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in antenna installation and related communication technologies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector. Given the complexity of negotiated procurement methods, companies with strong negotiation capabilities and a proven track record in delivering specialised technical installations are well-suited to compete. The awarded contract could bolster the supplier’s credentials and lead to further opportunities within government contracts and beyond. Businesses with experience in the regulated industry and familiarity with the South West region's logistical frameworks may stand a competitive advantage in similar future tenders.
