Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of a Microsoft 365 subscription was conducted by CPS, located at 102 Petty France, London. This contract falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with delivery locations including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other regions globally. The procurement has reached the award stage, with key dates including a tender period ending on 31 August 2023 and a contract period from 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024. The procurement method used was a limited, competitive quotation process below the threshold, and the contract value was £13,660 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software and cloud-based solutions, particularly those capable of providing Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Although the contract was awarded to CDW Limited, a large-scale supplier, the tender underscores the demand for software services in public procurement. Such opportunities can drive business growth for firms adept in offering similar cloud productivity platforms and comprehensive software packages. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might find it challenging to compete due to the procurement's suitability criteria, which did not favour SMEs or VCSEs.
