## Summary

The procurement process for SIM card operational costs, designated under Framework Number RM1045A, was managed by the Met Office, based in Exeter, England. Classified under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment, the procurement was completed with an award stage announced on 30th April 2025. This selective procurement method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, pertains to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender's value amounted to £25,000, covering a contract period from 10th March 2025 to 1st September 2025. The Met Office acted as the buyer, with Gamma Telecom Ltd serving as the awarded supplier, reflecting an active contract status.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specializing in telecommunication services, particularly those capable of providing operational management services for SIM cards within a specified framework. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were deemed suitable for this contract, although a large-sized entity, Gamma Telecom Ltd, ultimately secured the award. Companies looking to expand their operations in the UK and engage with government bodies like the Met Office can find growth potential through participating in similar framework agreements, enhancing their visibility and reputation in the public sector.
