Met Office tenders and contracts
Today there is 1 open Met Office tender on Find a Tender. It has 186 contracts running that we know of, and 3 of them are recurring services ending in the next 3 to 12 months, so they'll probably be tendered again. Half of those with a stated value (leaving out frameworks) are worth under £48k. 30% of the places on them are held by small firms, as declared on the award notices.
Met Office publishes its tender documents on procontract.due-north.com, the buyer's own site (usually free to register).
