Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofgem procured the provision and renewal of its current Microsoft Enterprise licences, together with associated services under the call-off contract. The requirement covers Microsoft software for internet browsing, document creation and management, drawing, imaging, presentations, forms, project management, scheduling, productivity and software suites. It is classified under CPV 48221000 and falls within services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is Ofgem, based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London. The requirement is therefore relevant to Microsoft licensing specialists, enterprise software resellers and providers able to support a geographically broad public-sector customer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 1 January 2026. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd on 28 August 2026 for £22,000,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and evaluation concerned the requirement set out for Microsoft Enterprise licences and associated services. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The selected supplier is responsible for providing and renewing the licences and delivering the associated services across the stated territories and countries.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Ofgem for Microsoft Enterprise licensing and related support across a wide geographic footprint. A credible future competitor would need strong capability in Microsoft licence provision and renewal, including managing current enterprise licences and the associated services required under a call-off contract. Experience supporting a public-sector organisation with complex software needs, broad user or location coverage and ongoing account administration would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should be able to operate through an open procurement route and demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity for a large, multi-year enterprise requirement. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so specialist resellers and licensing providers can be credible competitors where they can meet the scale and service expectations.
