UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured a subscription to Codility, a software service for assessing coding skills. The requirement is a renewal of its existing Codility subscription, rather than a broader software development or IT support project. The service supports organisations in evaluating candidates’ programming ability through an online platform. The contract is for use in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CODILITY LIMITED. The Met Office used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The single lot covered the Codility subscription. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2027. Its value is £10,098 excluding VAT (£12,117.60 including VAT). No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are stated in the procurement details.

This award shows that the Met Office buys a subscription service for online coding assessments, on a renewal basis, and that a small specialist supplier can provide it. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established platform that lets employers assess candidates’ programming skills and a service suitable for use across the UK. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so the outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or disclose the factors behind supplier selection. Suppliers focused on coding-assessment software and subscription delivery are the closest fit; general IT consultancy or software development capability alone is less directly relevant.
