## Summary

The recent procurement process conducted by the Met Office involved a tender for Grounds Maintenance services across various outstation sites, with a total contract value of £31,134. Classified under horticultural services, this procurement was initiated as a single tender action below the threshold, which successfully reached completion as of 18 March 2019. The contract period commenced on 19 March 2019 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2020. This initiative was carried out in the South West region of the United Kingdom, targeting service providers within the specified industry.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in horticultural services to expand their business ventures. Companies with expertise in grounds maintenance, operational flexibility, and the capacity to cater to multiple sites are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The involvement of a recognised authority such as the Met Office serves to bolster credibility and potentially lead to more government contracts for successful bidders.
