Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, acting as the buyer, has recently concluded a procurement process for the "AWS - Volume Commitment Program" under the IT services industry category. This contract involves consulting, software development, internet, and support services. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in the South West of the United Kingdom, this tender process reached the award stage, with the award notice being published on 30th April 2025. The contract period commenced on 5th March 2025 and is due to end on 1st April 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 3,167,488.89, was awarded to Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in consulting and software development. Though the procurement was selective, it highlights the importance of framework agreements, which can provide recurring business opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage in such processes when suitable opportunities arise to enhance their visibility and potential for securing government contracts. The scale and scope of the contract suggest it would be most suited to businesses with robust IT capabilities and previous experience in large-scale service delivery, especially those capable of forming strategic partnerships to offer comprehensive solutions.
