Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured Microsoft 365 licences under an enterprise agreement. The requirement is for the provision of software licences for the Trust, with delivery in Leicester, United Kingdom. This is a software and information systems service requirement rather than a purchase of physical equipment or construction work. The procurement concerns Microsoft 365 licensing; the source does not describe additional implementation, support or other service deliverables. The buyer is the NHS Trust serving Leicester, so suppliers focused on enterprise software licensing and public-sector customers will recognise the type of requirement. The award records one supplier for the licensing provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TRUSTMARQUE SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The award date was 31 March 2023, and the contract period runs from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2029. The awarded value is £9,050,000. The Trust used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated tender deadline was 31 March 2023 at 12:00. The process is recorded as a single requirement, with no division into lots. The tender was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or weighting are stated in the available procurement details, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described further.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust buys Microsoft 365 licences through a framework call-off and at enterprise scale. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply and manage Microsoft 365 licensing for a large NHS organisation, with the commercial capacity to support a substantial, multi-year agreement. Familiarity with public-sector framework arrangements and the ability to meet the Trust’s licensing needs through that route would be relevant. The recorded outcome identifies a large supplier, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement geared towards established providers rather than smaller specialist firms bidding alone. The stated scope is licensing, so capability should be specific to enterprise Microsoft 365 provision rather than unrelated IT services.
