Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a tender for IT Services issued by the Met Office, located in Exeter, England. The tender was called off from the Government Framework RM1557 and falls under the IT services category, specifically classified as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement method used was selective, and the tender period concluded on 11th February 2021. The awarded contract, valued at £16,900, has a contract period starting from 12th February 2021 and ending on 9th April 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs in the IT sector, particularly those specialising in consulting and software development, to expand their business through government contracts. Given the selective procurement method, suppliers who have previously engaged with framework agreements may find themselves well-positioned to compete. The involvement of the Met Office as the buyer highlights the demand for robust IT services, making this a lucrative environment for businesses offering relevant expertise.
