Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Cloud Web Proxy (iBoss) 2025 - 2028" project, led by the Met Office, a national agency in the UK, falls under the industry category of IT services, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This service-focused procurement, initiated without prior publication due to its scope exclusion, is tagged with both "award" and "contract." It was completed with the contract signed on 12th September 2025 and is set to commence on 28th September 2025, concluding on 27th September 2028. The procurement stage currently stands at the 'Award' phase with a contract value of £203,337. The services will be delivered to multiple regions across the UK, highlighting a broad geographical impact.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those adept in providing cloud-based solutions and cybersecurity services. With the procurement method being limited, it indicates that the opportunity was bespoke for capable suppliers, like Computacenter UK Ltd, which won the bid. Companies looking to align with or compete against large-scale IT service providers can gain leverage by aligning with government frameworks and establishing credentials in handling public sector IT projects. The expertise in servicing national agencies or similar entities, along with a facilitating presence across multiple UK regions, would be advantageous for organizations aiming to tap into similar future opportunities.
