UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter, procured an annual renewal of IntelliJ software for its 2026/27 requirements. The purchase is classified as an IT service, covering software-related support and associated services rather than physical goods or construction. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused and recurring: maintaining access to IntelliJ software for the Met Office’s operational or development needs. Businesses specialising in software licensing, renewals and IT support are the closest fit, particularly those able to serve a public-sector organisation nationally. The procurement concerned one complete requirement, rather than a wider programme of separate goods, works or service packages.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to BOXXE LIMITED on 7 July 2026. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2027 and is active. Its value is £18,017 excluding VAT, or £21,620.40 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold. The published outcome records one supplier and one completed lot. The available process information identifies the requirement as an IntelliJ software renewal; it does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed award criteria. This is an awarded outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid.

This procurement demonstrates the Met Office’s demand for annual IntelliJ software renewal through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future competitor would need established capability in software licensing and renewals, accurate management of subscription or licence continuity, and the ability to support a UK-wide public-sector customer. Familiarity with IntelliJ products and the practical requirements of maintaining access to software used by technical or development teams would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to respond efficiently to a focused, low-value requirement and meet public-sector purchasing and contract administration expectations. The selected supplier, BOXXE LIMITED, is a large IT business, indicating that scale, commercial infrastructure and experience handling software procurement may support competitiveness when this requirement returns to market.
