## Summary

The Met Office is initiating a tender for the "Provision of data cabling services" at its Exeter sites, classified under local area network services. The procurement process, which follows an open procedure, is currently active and is set to conclude its tender period on 25th October 2018. The project has a budget of £200,000 with a minimum contract value of £150,000, covering an anticipated contract duration from 12th November 2018 to 11th December 2021. Interested suppliers are encouraged to submit their proposals before the specified deadline, serving the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT infrastructure, particularly those providing data cabling and related network management services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this procurement, given the emphasis on supporting agile and innovative service providers capable of managing and enhancing existing IT frameworks within an established organisation like the Met Office.

## Notice

The Met Office is heavily reliant on IT and requires a Supplier to (a) support the existing data-cabling infrastructure and (b) perform an install, move, add and change "IMAC" service. This is primarily for the data centres and network equipment rooms (NER) but will occasionally include other work-spaces such as meeting rooms, conference rooms or training facilities across the Exeter estate.
