## Summary

The procurement process involved the Met Office, a prominent buyer based in Exeter, England, which sought software development services under a contract valued at £27,000. The tender period concluded on 15 October 2015, expanding the contract period from the same date to 1 December 2015. This procurement fell under the IT services category (CPV 72000000) and was managed through a government framework agreement, having been marked as complete.

This opportunity may particularly benefit small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), positioning them well to compete due to the nature of the IT service sector. Companies focused on software development or consulting in technology would find suitable grounds for engagement. The complete closure of this contract emphasises the importance of being prepared for future tenders released by the Met Office or similar organisations, enhancing business growth prospects in the technology sector.
