## Summary

This contracting process, initiated by the Met Office, pertains to the renewal of Quest SQL Navigator licences for a duration of two years. The Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter, is the buying organisation. The procurement is related to the software package and information systems industry, with its delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement process was concluded with the award stage, evidenced by an active award and contract status. The contract, signed on 11th March 2026, will run from 1st May 2026 until 30th April 2028, with a gross value of GBP 20,251.08. The procurement was executed through a direct method, classified as below threshold - without competition.

Such contracts are ideal for established suppliers capable of providing reliable software services, offering a stable revenue stream and potential expansion into public sector procurement chains.
