Notice Title

Microsoft Unified Support

Notice Description

The Microsoft technology landscape has changed significantly over the last few years. The LCC Microsoft estate is following a cloud-based roadmap. The Microsoft unified support route would also be a single route for all support required for Microsoft products. In the past there would have been multiple contracts for the various Microsoft technologies resulting in a higher cost than the Microsoft unified support offering and complexities around where issues may lie when problems occur. Direct award by G-cloud 12, LCC contract procedure rule followed.
