Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board bought Microsoft licences and associated services, classified as software and information systems. The requirement covers licensing and related support or services under the GCA Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. Delivery is associated with Sleaford, Lincolnshire. This is a goods procurement for the NHS buyer, rather than a broad IT services requirement, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide Microsoft licensing alongside the associated services required by the buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD. The award date was 23 October 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an awarded value of £677,214.12. The estimated procurement range was £615,649.20 to £677,214.12. The buyer used a selective call-off from the GCA Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. Bids were due by 26 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The award demonstrates that NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board buys Microsoft licences together with associated services through the GCA technology products framework. A supplier competing for a comparable future requirement would need to provide the relevant Microsoft licensing and associated services, and be positioned to supply a requirement of this scale across a multi-year contract. The selected supplier was a large company, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates the scale and framework route favoured for this purchase. Experience supplying Microsoft software licensing and delivering associated services through an established public-sector technology framework would therefore be directly relevant.
