## Summary

The Met Office has concluded a direct award procurement process for the "MASS Library Solution Support 2026". This contract involves the renewal of Oracle support for the MASS library solution from 1st July 2026 to 30th September 2026. Located in Exeter, the Met Office is a central government public authority in the UK. The procurement, described under the CPV code for repair and maintenance services, is now complete, with key dates including the contract signing on 11th May 2026. The procurement method used was a direct award due to Oracle's proprietary rights, with Oracle Corporation UK Limited being the sole supplier due to its exclusive intellectual property rights over the necessary equipment.

This contract offers limited competitive business growth opportunities due to its direct award nature, focused specifically on Oracle's proprietary systems. However, it underscores Oracle's strategic position in the digital services industry and highlights opportunities for large-scale suppliers and those associated with Oracle's supply chain. Businesses involved in supporting or reselling Oracle products, particularly in maintenance and repair services, might find indirect growth opportunities through associated contracts or service provisions. Additionally, businesses looking to partner with or subcontract to Oracle may find such projects beneficial as part of a broader engagement strategy with public sector contracts.

## Notice

Renewal of Oracle support to MASS library solution from 1/7/26 to 30/9/26.

### Procurement Information

Oracle tape libraries and drives are proprietary to Oracle so support cannot be provided by any other supplier on the market.
