Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the Met Office, focuses on the "Constructive Conversation Training" contract within the training services industry category. The Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter, UK, has completed this procurement with a direct procurement method, meaning it was below the threshold and without competition. The contract, awarded to Source Coaching Consultancy, spans from 3rd February 2026 to 31st March 2026, addressing training services across the UK region designated as UKK. No competitive tendering was involved due to the nature of the procurement method. The legal basis for this procurement is UK legislation 2023/54, supporting the direct award process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those capable of delivering ongoing learning and development programmes. Source Coaching Consultancy, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), serving as the awarded supplier, showcases the potential for SMEs to secure government contracts through strategic, non-competitive procurement methods. Businesses in the training sector should note such opportunities, especially those equipped to provide specialised services like coaching and development programmes, could significantly benefit from engaging in similar future public sector procurements.
