Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, located in Exeter, England, has completed a tender process for the procurement of meteorological balloons, which falls under the category of meteorological instruments (CPV Code: 38120000). The total contract value is £54,140.80 and the procurement was conducted through a direct method, specifically as a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period is set to commence on 23rd February 2022 and conclude on 20th May 2022. The tender application period ended on 15th February 2022.

This contract represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in meteorological instruments or related sectors to expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity particularly advantageous, as the procurement process allows for competition from smaller suppliers. Companies focusing on the supply of meteorological equipment, especially those based in the South West region of the United Kingdom, would be well-positioned to engage with the Met Office for future projects or contracts.
