## Summary

The Met Office, located in Exeter, England, recently completed a procurement process for an external audit valued at £58,000. This contract, classified under accounting, auditing and fiscal services, followed a direct procurement method through a single tender action as it was below the threshold. The tender period ended on 15 November 2017, with the contract effective from 16 November 2017 until 29 June 2018.

This procurement presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in auditing and accounting services to expand their portfolios.
