## Summary

The Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter, UK, recently completed a direct procurement process for the renewal of their SonarQube service, titled "MO1951 - SonarQube Renewal 2026". The procurement, which falls under the services category with a focus on software testing, was carried out below the competitive threshold and concluded with an award to SonarSource on 20th January 2026. The contract is set to commence on 26th February 2026, with a duration of one year ending on 25th February 2027. The procurement method chosen was a direct procurement, indicating the contract was awarded without a competitive process.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software testing and code checking services. While the current procurement was awarded directly to SonarSource, other businesses offering innovative or competitive software testing solutions may find opportunities in future renewals or similar projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in software testing, particularly those capable of servicing contracts below competitive thresholds, would be well-suited to compete in this domain by keeping abreast of future announcements by the Met Office and similar public authorities.
