Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Irwell Valley Housing Association Limited involved the awarding of a contract titled "Microsoft licences" under the industry category of software programming and consultancy services. Located in Salford, England, this procurement's contract period spans from 31st August 2025 to 30th August 2028.

This tender creates growth opportunities primarily for large enterprises experienced in providing software licensing solutions and related consultancy services, given the scale and industry focus.
