## Summary

The Met Office procured a one-month renewal of support for its Oracle library solution. This is specialist software support and maintenance, rather than a general library service. The selected supplier was Oracle Corporation UK Limited. The work was for the Met Office, based in Exeter, and the delivery location is identified as the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Met Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Oracle Corporation UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October to 31 October 2026. Its value is £93,424.50 excluding VAT and £112,109.40 including VAT. The award is recorded as an active services award; no separate award date is provided.

This award shows demand for continuity of support for the Met Office’s Oracle library solution. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need credible expertise in Oracle library software support and maintenance, and the ability to sustain an existing system with minimal interruption. Experience supporting the relevant Oracle solution and access to appropriate technical resources would be commercially relevant. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so the selected supplier’s position as the solution provider is pertinent to understanding the route used here. The requirement was a short-duration renewal, suited to a supplier able to provide focused support for an established product rather than deliver a broader library service.

## Notice
