Renewal of IT maintenance contract for Met Office.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The Met Office is renewing its Single Source Maintenance (SSM) contract for IT equipment maintenance from October 2026 to September 2027. The SSM model consolidates maintenance of networking equipment, hardware in IT halls and frontline sites, and manufacturer warranty management for Dell commodity devices (desktops, laptops) under a single supplier. The supplier may subcontract specialist maintenance as needed. This is a direct award renewal, indicating an incumbent supplier likely holds the current contract.
