Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office was the buying organisation for a completed tender titled "IT Services," which primarily falls under the category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract, valued at £32,000, was awarded on 30th April 2021, with a contract period running from 3rd May 2021 to 30th September 2021. The services were required in the South West of England, and the procurement method used was a direct approach through a single tender action, as it fell below the threshold for competitive procurement. The tender period ended on 30th April 2021.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the IT sector to expand their service offerings, particularly those specialising in IT support services. Businesses that can provide consulting, software development, or internet support are particularly well-suited to compete for similar tenders, and they may find growth opportunities by establishing partnerships or offerings aligned with the needs of public sector organisations like the Met Office.
