Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Provision of Microsoft Unified Enterprise Support Services" was conducted by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) in England. This contract, valued at £380,076, falls under the IT services industry, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support services, and applies across numerous international locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This process reached the award stage on 9th July 2026, following the completion of the tender period on 7th July 2026. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract is set to run from 8th July 2026 to 7th July 2029, with Microsoft Limited being the selected supplier.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the IT services domain to engage in long-term support and consultancy projects with a major governmental body. While the procurement process has already been completed using a selective method, this type of framework agreement often precedes or follows substantial demand for similar services, signalling potential future opportunities for capable IT firms. Large-scale enterprises experienced in comprehensive support and consulting, particularly those familiar with navigating governmental contracts and frameworks, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities in the future.
