UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured a Management 3.0 Foundations Leadership Course, classified as a management training service (CPV 80532000). The requirement is for leadership and management development delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter. The procurement covered one service requirement rather than a collection of separate goods, works or service packages. The course is a specific branded or named training programme, so businesses considering similar work should distinguish experience in management education from general consultancy or organisational development. The requirement demonstrates demand from a public-sector employer for structured leadership training that can be delivered to its workforce in a UK setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Lean Advantage Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026, has an active status, and runs from 8 July 2026 to 9 July 2026. Its value is £14,860 excluding VAT and £17,832 including VAT. The award relates to the single completed lot and covers the management training service described above. The contracting route was a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender, and the published outcome records the supplier and the agreed contract value. No separate evaluation criteria or competitive scoring basis is reported for this award.

This procurement is useful market evidence for providers of structured leadership and management training, particularly those able to deliver the Management 3.0 Foundations Leadership Course or an equivalent named programme. The selected supplier, Lean Advantage Ltd, is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can serve the Met Office for a focused training requirement. A credible future competitor would need clear capability in leadership development, a course offering aligned with the buyer’s stated management framework, and the ability to deliver a short, defined assignment in the United Kingdom. Relevant experience should show practical delivery of management training to organisational teams, with sufficient subject expertise and delivery capacity for a central government client.
