## Summary

The Met Office, a central government public authority located in Exeter, UK, recently completed a procurement process for legal services related to patents and trademarks. The contract, valued at £18,000 (gross amount £21,600), was awarded to Bryhers Intellectual Property Limited, an SME based in Bristol. This procurement falls under the services category and was executed using a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition. The contract covers a period from 1st June 2026 to 30th June 2028, with the award date being 26th May 2026.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for companies specialising in legal services, particularly those with expertise in intellectual property rights. SMEs, similar to Bryhers, may find themselves well-positioned to cater to such requirements. Enterprises seeking to expand their client base within the central government sector would benefit from understanding the Met Office's procurement approach, as it occasionally allows for direct awards without competition. Engaging in this market can lead to long-term partnerships and a steady stream of government contracts.
