Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, based in Exeter, England, has completed a procurement process concerning the "Mural Subscription Renewal" with an award issued on 1st July 2026. This procurement falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £200,963.30, covers services to be delivered in the South West of the United Kingdom and spans from 10th July 2026 to 9th July 2029. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, indicating that the contracting process is concluded, with the contract awarded to Boxxe Ltd, a large-scale enterprise based in York.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, especially for companies supplying software packages and related systems. Although the procurement has been finalised, businesses of similar capabilities may find potential growth by pursuing future opportunities in the software services sector offered by public bodies like the Met Office. The tender process was selective, benefiting suppliers who can source products through existing framework agreements. Small and medium-sized enterprises can particularly benefit from engaging in such tenders, as the procurement was also deemed suitable for SMEs, although not specifically targeting voluntary and community sector enterprises.
