UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office bought an uplift to its SonarQube Cloud Enterprise Plan, covering up to 3 million lines of code. This is a software subscription for cloud-based code analysis, relevant to providers of software development quality and security tools, particularly those able to supply and support enterprise-scale SonarQube licences. The work is for the Met Office, the UK central government weather and climate service, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was categorised as IT software. Its stated scope is the additional plan capacity; the source does not describe separate implementation, integration or consultancy work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Met Office used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. SonarSource Sàrl was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 26 March 2026 and runs from 27 March 2026 to 26 March 2027. Its stated value is USD 15,743.93. The award records the purchase as software, but the published process information does not give an evaluation formula or selection criteria. The stated plan uplift covers up to 3 million lines of code; the award itself does not break down price by licence, user or other unit.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from the Met Office, this award demonstrates demand for enterprise cloud code-analysis software at a defined codebase scale. A credible competitor would need to provide an enterprise SonarQube plan or a directly comparable product able to cover up to 3 million lines of code. Suppliers should be equipped to serve a central government customer and deliver the software in the United Kingdom. The purchase was made through limited competition below the applicable threshold, so experience responding to targeted competitive procurement would be relevant. The stated requirement is a software plan uplift; the process does not establish a need for wider development, integration or consultancy services.
