## Summary

The Met Office procured renewal of its Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) memberships for 2026–27. This is a membership organisation service, covering the Met Office’s continued memberships with the IET rather than goods, construction or technical consultancy. The service is delivered for the Met Office in the United Kingdom. The requirement relates to the organisation’s professional engineering membership arrangements and was treated as a single service requirement. The selected provider, the Institution of Engineering and Technology, is a large voluntary, community and social enterprise based in Stevenage. The opportunity is therefore relevant to membership bodies and organisations that provide comparable professional association membership services to public sector organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to the Institution of Engineering and Technology. The Met Office used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award was made on 2 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027. Its value is £13,522 excluding VAT, or £16,227 including VAT. One completed lot is recorded, covering the IET membership renewal service. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the supplier and confirms that the procurement was not conducted through a competitive tender process.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that the Met Office has an established, recurring need for professional engineering membership services at organisational scale. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so organisations seeking comparable work should understand how to present a clear, directly relevant membership offer to a central government buyer. A credible competitor would need to be an established membership organisation or comparable provider, able to support institutional memberships and maintain a service suitable for a public authority. The selected supplier’s status as a large engineering institution indicates the importance of sector relevance, organisational capacity and an established professional membership proposition.
