About the buyer

Met Office buys as a central government agency, delivering weather and climate services as an executive agency and trading fund of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. Tenders run through the Met Office's own ProActis portal, with opportunities and awards also published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Collaborative government agreements route much of its buying through the Crown Commercial Service, alongside the ESPO and YPO frameworks. Standard contracts are awarded through desktop competitions or full tender exercises, usually inviting four or more suppliers to bid. The commercial team runs this process, following Cabinet Office best practice.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Met Office's contract awards have been in software and information systems, research and development and IT services.
