Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office has completed the procurement process for the "IBM FS2700 System Support Services," which entails maintenance and support for existing IBM FS7000 storage systems over a two-year span. This service falls under the industry category of Repair and Maintenance Services, with activities concentrated in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is in the Award phase, and the contract is set to begin on 12th December 2025 and conclude on 11th December 2027. The procurement followed a selective method through a call-off from an existing framework agreement under a CCS framework for Technology Products and Associated Services, with a total contract value of £82,039.30.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses that specialise in IT support services, particularly those with expertise in maintaining IBM storage systems. Although the contract has already been awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited, this process highlights potential future opportunities for large-scale service providers to engage with organisations like the Met Office, which relies on critical IT infrastructure support. This tender offers insights into the procurement preferences of public sector entities, such as reliance on framework agreements and competitive edges required in technical support and maintenance domains.
