UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office is buying individually configured marine connectors and cables for use with deep-sea buoys. This is a supply contract for marine equipment, delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for components configured to suit the buyer’s buoy applications, rather than generic off-the-shelf items. The Met Office is the buying organisation. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, covering the specified connectors and cables together.

The Met Office invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with an option, by mutual agreement, to extend for a further 12 months for the same goods; there is also an option to replace specified goods with new product lines. Evaluation weights are technical quality 60%, social value 10% and price 30%; details are in the tender documents. An award decision was due by 13 January 2027.

This requirement suits suppliers able to configure and supply marine connectors and cables for deep-sea buoy use. The technical element carries the greatest evaluation weight, so bidders should be able to demonstrate that their products meet the required specifications and perform suitably in the intended marine environment; the detailed technical requirements are set out in the tender documents. Social value also contributes to evaluation, alongside price. The buyer identifies the contract as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist manufacturers, cable and connector suppliers, and distributors with access to appropriate configurable products. Suppliers should be capable of supporting a multi-year supply arrangement and accommodating possible product-line changes or an agreed extension. The goods are intended for delivery within the United Kingdom.»}eriwa} Dialogue 天天中彩票派奖 天天中彩票能 天天中彩票中大奖? Output strict JSON strings, okay. Fact status date?
