Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority has completed a procurement process for a Microsoft Licence Solution Partner. This tender, titled "NHSCFA Microsoft Licence Solution Partner," falls within the IT services industry category and is specifically for the provision of billing, advice, and associated services related to Microsoft licensing, including an Enterprise Agreement for licences and cloud hosting. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 26 February 2025 and the contract period running from 28 February 2025 to 27 February 2028. The total value of the contract is £264,369.60, and the primary location for service delivery is within the United Kingdom, specifically Newcastle (postal code NE15 8NY).

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the IT consulting and software solutions sector. Companies with expertise in managing large-scale software licensing agreements and providing cloud hosting services are well-suited to compete in such tenders. While SMEs and VCSEs were deemed ineligible for this specific contract, larger IT solution providers, like the awarded supplier Trustmarque Business Solutions Ltd, can leverage this opportunity to expand their client base and enhance their portfolio of government contracts. Engaging in similar procurement processes can help businesses build strong relationships with public sector entities and secure long-term service agreements.
