Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the Met Office, located in Exeter, England, for the provision of a "Citrix Universal Hybrid Multi Cloud subscription", classified under software packages and information systems (CPV code 48000000). The contract pertains to a subscription service for 500 users, valued at £91,809.55, and covers a period from 14th November 2025 to 13th November 2026. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement via the CCS framework RM6098. The award stage is complete, with the contract awarded to Telefonica 02 (UK) Limited (Virgin Media 02) on 11th November 2025 for delivery in the South West region of the UK.

This tender opens growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing cloud-based software services, with a focus on hybrid solutions suitable for large-scale deployments. Companies with expertise in technology products and associated services, particularly those experienced with framework agreements, would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. However, this particular procurement was not targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The involvement of a large service provider such as Telefonica 02 indicates the scale and importance of the contract, highlighting the potential for larger entities looking to expand their market share in public sector technology solutions.
