Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust procured Microsoft 365 software licences and associated licence management services. This is a technology licensing and software asset management requirement, categorised under computer equipment and supplies, with the main procurement category being services. Delivery is for the Trust’s operations in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, based in Hull. The requirement concerns the provision and ongoing management of Microsoft software licensing rather than the supply of general computer hardware. It is relevant to software licensing specialists, Microsoft partners, resellers and service providers that can manage licence provision for an NHS foundation trust and support the associated administrative and management services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Insight Direct (GB) Limited. The award was made on 14 August 2026, following a selective further competition and call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 Framework (RM6098), under the nationally led NFC204 Microsoft Aggregation further competition. The awarded value is £768,174 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender’s estimated value range was £256,058 to £768,174. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 23:00. The procurement was evaluated through the framework further-competition process; the published data does not set out separate evaluation weightings or criteria.

This award demonstrates established demand from an NHS foundation trust for Microsoft software licensing combined with ongoing licence management, rather than a one-off software purchase. Suppliers considering comparable public-sector requirements would need credible capability in Microsoft licensing, subscription and entitlement administration, licence optimisation, renewals, compliance support and the operational management of a substantial organisational estate. Experience of working with NHS or other complex public-sector organisations would help demonstrate that the supplier can handle governance, information assurance, user-scale administration and service continuity. The route to market is also significant: relevant suppliers would need access to the appropriate technology-products framework and the ability to compete through a structured further competition. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so specialist licensing firms may be well placed to participate in future comparable requirements.
