In plain English

The Met Office, the UK's national weather service, wants to buy marine connectors and cables for its deep sea weather buoys. Each order is individually configured, so the supplier must make or adapt parts to the Met Office's specifications. The estimated value is £600,000.

What the buyer wants

• Supply individually configured connectors and cables suitable for use with deep sea buoys • Tailor each product to the Met Office's technical requirements • Deliver the configured items as part of the contract

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice gives no detail on technical standards, testing or track record, so the most likely barrier is a lack of proven experience making marine-grade connectors and cables for deep sea equipment.
