The procurement process involves the Met Office, located in Exeter, England, which has initiated a tender for software licences under the IT services category. The procurement method used was a direct approach via a single tender action, valued at £11,600. The tender period concluded on 16 April 2021, with the contract set to commence on 17 April 2021 and lasting until 15 April 2022.
