## Summary

The procurement process, managed by the Met Office, a central government public authority located in Exeter, culminated in the award stage for the supply of "Oracle T2 Media Tapes." The procurement method employed was a direct award, justified by prior unsuccessful procurement attempts for similar goods. Insurgo Media Services Limited, based in Abertillery, was selected to supply 2,500 media tapes under a contract valued at £275,000 (gross £330,000). The procurement falls under the "goods" category, specifically within storage media, with deliveries expected in the UKK region. The contract will run from 1st November 2025 to 30th November 2025, with key milestones scheduled prior to the contract's commencement.

This direct award offers a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in media storage solutions to establish a foothold with a major public institution like the Met Office. Companies with a track record of providing compliant, high-quality media products could benefit greatly by showcasing their reliability and potential for future collaborations. Enterprises in the storage media sector, or those looking to extend their services to public sector clients, will find this type of procurement an attractive growth proposition. The successful bidder, Insurgo Media Services Limited, exemplifies a company that has leveraged its compliance and product quality to secure such opportunities.
