## Summary

The Met Office, a prominent UK meteorological organisation, recently concluded a procurement process for the renewal of SysAdmin licences, spanning a three-year contract period from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2028. This procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems, classified under CPV code 48000000, and is localised in Exeter, England, with the postal code EX1 3PB. The process, which utilised a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, ended the tender stage on 10th November 2025. An award was subsequently made on 25th November 2025 to Akhter Computers Limited, a large-scale computing company, valued at £251,333.73.

This contract offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in software supply and information systems, especially those that can engage through established framework agreements, to expand into public sector projects. Companies specialising in software licences and capable of maintaining long-term service contracts could particularly benefit. Although the opportunity has been awarded, it underscores the importance of framework agreements in gaining access to closed tenders, presenting a valuable lesson and potential for similar future procurements.
