## Summary

The Met Office procured video conferencing hardware, associated consumables and three years of support. This is a goods requirement covering office and computing equipment rather than software or furniture, with the equipment and support intended for delivery in the South West of England. The scope combines the supply of the conferencing system with ongoing support and replenishment of related consumables. It is relevant to suppliers of business video conferencing equipment, technology resellers, systems integrators and providers able to support installed conferencing hardware for a public-sector customer across the South West. The buyer is the Met Office, based in Exeter.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to Computacenter (UK) Limited. The award value was £71,388.82 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an open standalone tender. The original tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract covers the full requirement for video conferencing hardware, associated consumables and support. The recorded award is active, and the selected supplier is a large organisation. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates the Met Office’s need for an integrated video conferencing hardware and support solution, with consumables included alongside the equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to supply suitable office and computing hardware, provide associated consumables, and deliver dependable support over a multi-year service period. The procurement route is also significant: the work was placed through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable opportunities would need access to a relevant framework and the ability to compete under its call-off arrangements. The successful supplier was a large technology provider, indicating a requirement suited to established organisations with sufficient delivery, technical support and account-management capacity.
