Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Meteorological Equipment" project was managed by the Met Office, located in Exeter, England. The process involved purchasing meteorological instruments valued at £39,080 through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action due to being below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 24th December 2018 and concluded on 15th March 2019. The tender period ended on 21st December 2018, and the award was published on 26th March 2019.

This opportunity could foster significant business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in supplying meteorological tools and equipment. Companies that specialise in the manufacture or distribution of scientific instruments, as well as those with experience in public sector contracts, would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders with the Met Office, given their focus on high-quality meteorological services.
