## Summary

The Met Office, a central government public authority located in Exeter, UK, recently completed a procurement process for the renewal of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 6) licences. The procurement took place under limited competition as it was considered below the threshold. The awarded contract, valued at £15,107.92 (net value), was signed on 4th June 2026, with the contract period running from 5th June 2026 to 31st December 2026. The procurement process, identified by the ocid ocds-h6vhtk-06b3c2, falls under the "Software package and information systems" category, with delivery designated for the UKK region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions and ICT infrastructure, particularly those providing enterprise-level software licences and services. Given the nature of the procurement, larger businesses or those with the capability to offer specialised software products like Red Hat licenses would be well-suited for future similar opportunities, as they are more likely to meet the stringent requirements and capacity expectations set by central government entities like the Met Office. Engaging with such tenders can help businesses expand their portfolio and establish relationships within the public sector market.
