Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust procured Microsoft software licences as an IT software and licensing supply requirement. The purchase is a call-off under the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex. The requirement is for Microsoft licences; the published scope does not describe particular products, quantities or deployment services. The buyer is East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, a healthcare provider serving the area.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD. The award was dated 29 September 2026. Its value is £903,052, compared with the tender’s estimated value of £677,289. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option for a 12-month extension. This was a selective, framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. The procurement was treated as a single requirement, with no lots described. The Trust marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information does not set out specific evaluation criteria.

The award shows that East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust buys Microsoft licences through the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, using a call-off route. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need access to that framework and the ability to supply and support Microsoft licensing for a substantial healthcare organisation over a multi-year contract. The Trust’s SME and VCSE suitability assessment indicates that it considered this requirement unsuitable for those supplier categories, so competitors should be able to demonstrate the scale and capacity to serve an NHS trust. The selected supplier is a large company. The requirement is specifically for Microsoft licences; evidence of capability in unrelated IT products or services would not, by itself, establish a fit.
