## Summary

The Met Office, a central government authority based in Exeter, United Kingdom, has completed a direct procurement process for the ArcGIS software licences for the period 2025/26. The procurement process, classified under the industry's 'software package and information systems' category, resulted in the award of the contract to ESRI (UK) LIMITED. This procurement highlights a direct award method due to ESRI being the sole and exclusive distributor of ArcGIS licences. The contract was signed on 4th September 2025, with the delivery of goods scheduled to commence from 1st October 2025 and conclude by 30th September 2026. The total contract value stands at £144,670 before VAT.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in supplying niche software systems, specifically entities with capabilities to distribute complex GIS solutions. Although the direct award model and the exclusive distributorship of ESRI limit competition for this particular procurement, potential suppliers should consider building strategic partnerships or offering complementary services in geographical information systems (GIS) to expand their market reach. Large-scale software companies with exclusive or specialised products may find similar direct award opportunities lucrative, highlighting the importance of unique product offerings in securing government contracts.
