Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office has awarded a contract titled "Hybrid Services" under the industry category of Event Services (CPV 79952000). This procurement, valued at £13,935.68, is for services to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the award being published on 6 December 2024. The contract period spans from 11 November 2024 to 11 December 2024, following a single tender action procurement method, which is typical for contracts below the threshold. Key dates in the process included the end of the tender period on 28 October 2024, with the contract award made shortly thereafter.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in event services, particularly SMEs, as the procurement process indicated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded contract to BITPOD LIMITED, an SME based in Devon, demonstrates the potential for similar businesses to secure government contracts through direct and competitive procurement methods. Companies specialising in hybrid event and service provision, with a footprint in the South West or the ability to deliver services in this region, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities.
