Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved a contract titled "eJournal Package Subscription," initiated by the Met Office, focusing on the industry category of official journals. The procurement method was a direct tender, classified as a single tender action due to its value being below threshold — specifically £27,307. The contract period commenced on 30th September 2019 and concluded on 1st January 2020, with the procurement stage marked as complete. The location for the delivery of this package was within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the publishing sector, particularly those offering electronic journal subscriptions and related services. Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this an attractive chance to enter or expand within the academic market. Companies that specialise in scientific literature or e-journals would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future, leveraging the established relationship the Met Office may seek to maintain for continued provision of such resources.
