Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Microsoft Unified Support" has concluded under an award phase. Nottingham Trent University has engaged in a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, to secure services from Microsoft Limited. This procurement falls within the software package and information systems category and is focused on delivering solutions related to networking, document creation, business transactions, and more in the East Midlands region, United Kingdom. The contract commenced on 10th August 2025 and is set to run through until 9th August 2028, with the award amount totalling £656,800.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in software and IT solutions, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive support and integration services. Although Nottingham Trent University did not prioritise SME or VCSE suppliers for this contract, larger enterprises with a proven track record in managing complex software packages and information systems stand to benefit from future framework agreements and similar selective procurement processes that may arise. Businesses looking to expand within educational and institutional sectors in the East Midlands and beyond should consider positioning themselves for upcoming collaborations that follow this procurement model.
