## Summary

The Met Office, a UK central government public authority located in Exeter, recently completed a procurement process for the provision of a specialised Fortran programming language training course. This contract, awarded to The University of Edinburgh, falls under the 'services' category, specifically in education and training. The procurement method used was direct, below threshold, and without competition. The contract was awarded on 9th January 2026, with the training scheduled to occur between 16th and 18th February 2026. The awarded contract has a gross value of £16,560 for work to be delivered within the UKK region of the United Kingdom.

This contract offers significant business growth potential for institutions specialising in niche programming language training, with an emphasis on direct procurement engagements with governmental bodies. Organisations that excel in providing high-quality, specialised educational services, particularly within the Fortran programming environment, would find such opportunities well-aligned with their capabilities. Given the direct procurement approach with no competitive process, businesses with established reputations and relationships in this field stand the best chance of securing similar future contracts.
