UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, a central government public authority located in Exeter, UK, recently completed a procurement process for legal services related to patents and trademarks. The contract, valued at £18,000 (gross amount £21,600), was awarded to Bryhers Intellectual Property Limited, an SME based in Bristol. This procurement falls under the services category and was executed using a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition. The contract covers a period from 1st June 2026 to 30th June 2028, with the award date being 26th May 2026.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for companies specialising in legal services, particularly those with expertise in intellectual property rights. SMEs, similar to Bryhers, may find themselves well-positioned to cater to such requirements.
