Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council involves the awarding of a contract titled "RBWM Microsoft Enterprise Agreement Licences," with a focus on document creation, drawing, imaging, scheduling, and productivity software packages. This falls under the industry category of technology products and associated services. The contract is linked to a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically initiated as a mini-competition within the CCS Framework. The contract, active from the 1st of April 2026 until the 30th of March 2035, targets the South East region of the United Kingdom and carries a value of GBP 3,682,782. Despite the procurement stage now being complete, the arrangement reflects a 3+3+3 structure, concluded with the award given to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD, an SME identified as the supplier.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software packages and technology products to grow, given the substantial contract value and extended duration. Businesses with expertise in creating productivity software packages would be well-suited to compete for such tenders. The framework's structure allows for sustained partnership opportunities, encouraging businesses to leverage their technological capacity and expand their market presence. As the procurement favours SMEs over voluntary sector enterprises (VCSE), those with a robust track record and innovative technology solutions have significant potential for growth and establishment within the sought geographic region.
