Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Essex Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Fire & Rescue Authority involves awarding a contract for the provision of Microsoft Enterprise Agreement licences. This contract falls under the software package and information systems category and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through the CCS RM6098 TePas 2 Framework Lot 3 Software by the Crown Commercial Service aggregation team as part of an aggregated purchase. The tendering process entered the award stage, with the contract award notice published on 11th May 2026, and the award date set on 15th January 2026. The contract period is slated from 30th April 2026 to 1st May 2029, with a total contract value of £1,467,696.63. Notably, the tender was completed by SoftwareOne UK Limited as the supplier.

This procurement creates considerable opportunities for businesses involved in software and information system services, particularly those capable of supplying large-scale enterprise license agreements. Organisations already operating within government frameworks or those seeking to establish robust commercial relationships within the public sector would find significant growth potential here. Advanced software providers that can offer integrated solutions and demonstrate an ability to meet specific public sector requirements stand to benefit enormously from such contracts. Unfortunately, this specific contract does not target small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), emphasizing the need for substantial operational capacity to fulfil the requirements.
