## Summary

The Met Office procured coaching sessions for its Associate Directors. This is a professional development and management training service, classified under CPV 80532000. The requirement is focused on coaching rather than the supply of goods, construction or operational works. The buyer is the Met Office, a central government public authority based in Exeter. The selected service provider, Agar Management Consultancy Limited, is an SME based in Torquay. The work therefore suits consultancies and individual or small-team providers that deliver structured coaching and management development for senior leaders. The requirement is specific to Associate Directors, so relevant expertise should centre on leadership support, executive coaching and the development of management capability within a public-sector organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with the tender marked complete and the award active. The Met Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Agar Management Consultancy Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £14,400 excluding VAT, or £17,280 including VAT. The procurement consisted of one lot, covering the coaching sessions for Associate Directors. The published outcome records a service contract below threshold, awarded without a competitive tender. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through an open competition; the available procurement information identifies the direct-award route rather than scoring criteria or a comparative tender process.

For a competing supplier, this award indicates a defined Met Office requirement for coaching aimed at Associate Directors, delivered as a focused management training service rather than a broad consultancy programme. A credible future provider would need to demonstrate the ability to coach senior managers, understand leadership development needs and deliver sessions suitable for a central government environment. Relevant capability is likely to include experienced coaches, a clear approach to individual or group sessions, and the capacity to provide a short, targeted programme for senior staff. The successful supplier is an SME management consultancy, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller provider. Providers with demonstrable executive coaching and management training experience should monitor similar requirements from the Met Office.
