Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter, UK, has fully completed the procurement process for the "G2G on the HPC Support and Maintenance" project. This direct procurement, which sought goods related to software packages and information systems, was carried out without competition as it was below the threshold. The awarded contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set to continue until 31st March 2028. The award was issued on 27th March 2026, and its details were published on 20th April 2026. The project's geographical scope encompasses the entire UK.

This opportunity provides potential business growth for companies specialising in high-performance computing maintenance and support, specifically those with expertise in software package and information systems. Large-scale enterprises and those with a proven track record in the technological and ecological sectors may be well-equipped to compete for similar future tenders. As the procurement method was direct and below threshold, it offers insights into how organisations can position themselves for invitations to similar non-competitive bids.
