Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured a renewal of its Tenable One software. This is a software supply requirement, covering security software and associated software utilities, with CPV code 48700000. The procurement is classified as goods rather than services or works. Delivery is for the Met Office’s operations in the South West of England. The named buyer is the Met Office, based in Exeter. The requirement is relevant to software publishers, authorised resellers, licensing specialists and technology suppliers that provide Tenable One or comparable enterprise security software renewals. It may also suit smaller businesses, as the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier was Softcat Ltd.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Softcat Ltd on 18 June 2026 for £244,974.84 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 16 June 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the available information does not state separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. The award is active, and the overall tender status is complete. This is a single software renewal requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement.

This award demonstrates established Met Office demand for enterprise cyber-security software and a substantial Tenable One renewal. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need direct access to the relevant software product or an authorised reseller relationship, strong licensing and subscription-management capability, and the capacity to support a sizeable public-sector account. Experience supplying security software renewals to complex organisations would strengthen credibility, particularly where suppliers can manage contract administration, entitlement continuity, technical support arrangements and procurement through a framework. The use of a framework call-off shows that framework access, or a route through an existing framework supplier, is commercially important. The SME suitability indicates that smaller specialists may compete where they can demonstrate the necessary product authority, delivery capacity and public-sector purchasing route.
