Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the Met Office, a government organisation based in Exeter, England, seeking to acquire meteorological instruments, specifically under the title "Observations instruments." The procurement was classified as a limited procurement method, conducted through competitive quotations below the threshold amount of £24,282.50. The tender period concluded on 20 June 2017, with the contract period spanning from 21 June 2017 to 31 January 2018.
