Transparency

Our spend data, published in line with the government's commitment to public sector operational transparency.

In relation to contracting and expenditure, this enables the taxpayer to clearly understand how and where their money is spent.

Supply base

The Met Office currently has an active* supply base of 1292 companies, 40% of which are classed as small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

*May 2019 data. Active indicates a purchase has been made from a supplier within preceding 24 months

Contract data

The Met Office publishes the following procurement contract information free of charge via the Contract Finder web site:

Contracts awarded over the value of £10,000 in full online
New tender documents for contracts over £10,000 no more than 24 hours after release to bidders for public viewing

Suppliers bidding for Met Office contracts should be aware that if they are successful, the resulting contract will be published. In some circumstances, limited redactions will be made to contracts before they are published in order to comply with existing law and for the protection of national security.
