The procurement process, initiated by the Met Office, involves the tender for IT Hardware, classified under the Computer Equipment and Supplies category. The tender was completed on 16 April 2021, with an award value of £11,000. The contract period commenced on 17 April 2021 and concluded on 30 April 2021.
