## Summary

The Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter, recently completed a procurement process for the "Purchase of Electronic Resistance Thermometers." This procurement was directly awarded to VAISALA LIMITED and involved the acquisition of proprietary HMT330 Electronic Resistance Thermometers, which are critical for temperature measurements in the UK's climate network. The contract was signed on 24th July 2025 and will run until 24th August 2026, with the goods to be delivered across various regions in the United Kingdom, including but not limited to UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, and UKG.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in meteorological instruments, particularly those capable of supplying specialised equipment for government climate monitoring systems. Being awarded a contract by the Met Office, a notable entity in the public sector, can enhance a business’s reputation and credibility, leading to further procurement opportunities. However, this tender appears specifically suited to those businesses with the proprietary capability to supply the exact specifications required, such as electronic resistance thermometers, indicating a preference for specialised suppliers like VAISALA LIMITED.
