## Summary

The procurement process involved the Met Office, located in Exeter, England, which aimed to acquire software services classified under IT services. The contract was awarded for a total value of £38,893 and was set within the contract period from 7 October 2016 to 31 December 2016. The tender was officially closed on 6 October 2016, marking the end of the tender period. The procurement was executed through a method classified simply as "Other," indicating a non-standard approach.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering software development and consulting solutions. Companies that are SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) are encouraged to consider competing for such contracts, as these processes often seek innovative and flexible responses suited to the specific needs of the public sector. The involvement of a large supplier, Swantech Logistics LTD, also suggests that there may be opportunities for smaller enterprises to partner or collaborate with established companies to enhance their competitiveness in similar future tenders.
