Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Met Office, which is seeking support for software licensing. The invitation for this tender, classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV Code: 48000000), was completed on 5th April 2022, following a limited procurement method involving competitive quotations below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited, with a total value of £24,090. The contract period ran from 21st October 2021 to 31st March 2022, while the tender period closed on 5th October 2021. The project was situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in software services and support, particularly those with expertise in software licensing and maintenance.
