## Summary

The Met Office procured essential management training services for its organisation. The requirement falls within personnel-training services (CPV 79632000) and was awarded as a single service requirement. The buying organisation is the Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom. The work is relevant to providers of management development, leadership training and related workplace learning services able to support a public sector organisation. The requirement concerns training provision rather than the supply of equipment, construction or general consultancy. It may suit training companies with established management-learning programmes and the ability to deliver to participants across the UK, including organisations that can work with a national public body’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Foxstones Training & Learning Ltd, an SME. The Met Office used a direct award below threshold without competition. The award was made on 7 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 19 October 2027. Its value is £19,280 excluding VAT, or £23,136 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. The published outcome identifies essential management training as the requirement and personnel-training services as its classification. The award was made without a competitive tender, so there was no stated multi-supplier competition or comparative evaluation process for this purchase.

This procurement is useful market evidence for providers of essential management training seeking public sector work with the Met Office. It shows a defined requirement for management learning delivered to a central government organisation, with a contract awarded to an SME rather than a large training group. A credible future competitor would need relevant management-training content, trainers able to work with organisational learners, and sufficient delivery capacity for a UK-wide requirement. Providers should also be prepared to explain how their training supports essential management capability in a public authority setting. The route used here demonstrates that smaller, specialist training businesses can meet this buyer’s needs through a below-threshold direct-award process.
