Summary of the contracting process

The purchasing authority for this procurement process is the Met Office, located in Exeter, England. The contract, titled "Met Office - Cloud Web Proxy (2025 - 2028)", involves the provision of cloud web proxy services suitable for networking, internet, and intranet software packages, classified under the CPV code 48200000. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, suggesting that the Met Office selected suppliers from an existing framework. The tender stage has been completed, with the procurement process culminating in the award being published on 1st October 2025. The contract period extends from 28th September 2025 to 27th September 2028, encompassing a three-year duration, intended to deliver services to the location specified by the postal code EX1 3PB. The award value is £203,337.44.

This contract poses significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adept in IT services and software systems. Given that the procurement process involved a selective method from a framework, businesses that have been previously vetted and included in relevant frameworks might find themselves well-placed for similar opportunities. With the contract's value exceeding £200,000, small to medium IT service providers can leverage such engagements to bolster their portfolios, expand their market presence, and establish a reputation in delivering complex software solutions for government bodies. While only one supplier, Computacenter, is noted as having secured the contract, other similar businesses should consider framework participation to access future opportunities with the Met Office and similar high-profile organisations.
