## Summary

The procurement process, led by the Met Office, involved the award of a contract for the "Payload CMS subscription" under the industry category of software packages and information systems, with delivery targeted to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract, which is now in the award stage, follows a single tender action procurement method conducted below the threshold, and was awarded to Figma Inc. on 3rd November 2025 with a value of £60,000. The contract spans from 3rd November 2025 to 2nd November 2026. Relevant details were last updated and published on 1st December 2025.

This procurement offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in software and information systems, although it does not specify suitability for SMEs or VCSEs. Companies specialising in software packages and able to support Content Management Systems (CMS) could find opportunities for collaboration or future involvement with the Met Office as a contracting body. Given the direct procurement method employed, firms capable of operating under single tender arrangements with competitive offerings should find similar future opportunities attractive. As this procurement was completed with a single tender, fostering relationships with public sector buyers like the Met Office could be beneficial for securing similar contracts.
