Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office bought a consent management platform for its mobile application: software services to manage users’ app consent. The procurement covered one lot, with the software supply classified as software supply services. The Met Office is the buying organisation, based in Exeter. The awarded service was associated with a United Kingdom delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Barrier Networks Limited, a Glasgow-based supplier. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 September 2027. Its value is £67,000 excluding VAT, or £80,400 including VAT. The procurement used a below-threshold route; no more specific procedure is stated. There was one lot, and the published outcome records an active award and active contract. The procurement description identifies the requirement as a consent management platform for the Met Office mobile application. No award date is separately recorded; the contract signing date is given above.

This award shows that the Met Office purchases specialist software services to manage consent within a mobile application, at a scale suited to a focused platform supplier rather than a large, multi-lot programme. A credible competitor would need to supply a consent management platform that can serve a mobile app and meet the buyer’s consent-management requirement. Barrier Networks Limited, the selected supplier, is an SME, showing that a smaller supplier competed successfully for this requirement. The contract is a single, defined platform service rather than a broad technology programme. Suppliers with relevant app-platform delivery experience and the capacity to implement and support a dedicated consent management service would be well placed when this particular requirement returns to market.
