## Summary

The Met Office, located in Exeter, England, has conducted a procurement process for computer hardware, classified under the CPV category for office and computing machinery. The contract, with a total value of £585,533.14, was awarded following a selective procurement method using a call-off from framework agreement RM3733. The tender period for submissions closed on 8th March 2018, and the contract was executed from 9th March to 28th March 2018.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT and hardware sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can supply office and computing machinery. Companies that specialise in computer hardware, especially those capable of delivering under a framework agreement, would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracting opportunities with the Met Office or similar organisations. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance visibility and lead to further contracts in the public sector.
