UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office bought electrically adjustable desk frames for office use in Belfast. This is a goods requirement for office furniture, rather than installation or a broader office refurbishment. The equipment is intended for the Met Office’s Belfast office; the procurement description identifies Belfast as the delivery location. The award classification places the purchase within furniture and office furnishings. The requirement is focused on adjustable desk frames, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide this type of workplace furniture to a public-sector organisation. ALPHA MARKETING UK LIMITED was selected as the supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Met Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and awarded the single lot to ALPHA MARKETING UK LIMITED. The award was made on 7 October 2026 and the contract was signed that day. The contract period runs from 7 October to 5 November 2026. Its value is £14,076 excluding VAT and £16,891.20 including VAT. The process records no stated evaluation criteria; the purchase was made without a competitive procedure. This outcome shows the supplier selected for the Belfast office desk-frame requirement, but does not describe a broader furniture supply arrangement.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from the Met Office, this purchase indicates demand for electrically adjustable desk frames for an office in Belfast, on a small, focused scale. A credible competitor would need to supply office furniture of this specific type and fulfil delivery to the relevant office location. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this requirement was fulfilled by an SME; it does not establish an SME-only restriction. The route used was a direct award without competition, so the award provides evidence of a buyer’s requirement and selected supplier, rather than a competitive scoring model or published technical standard. Suppliers whose core offer includes adjustable workstation furniture are the closest fit when this buyer’s requirement recurs.
