Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service procured a single supplier to provide its Microsoft enterprise licences for approximately three years. This is a software licensing and supply requirement, classified under software packages and information systems. Delivery is in South West England. The requirement concerns the Service’s Microsoft enterprise licence needs, rather than a broader IT systems or support contract.

The procurement is complete and Phoenix Software Ltd was selected as the single supplier. The award was made on 14 July 2026, with a contract period from 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2030. The awarded value is £2,389,535.86. The contract was called off from a framework agreement using a selective process. The original submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at noon. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete. The published details do not set out the specific evaluation criteria or how bids were scored.

This award confirms recurring demand from Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service for enterprise-scale Microsoft licensing, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to supply and manage Microsoft enterprise licences across the Service’s requirements, and be able to operate within the framework route used for this purchase. The single-supplier appointment and multi-year contract indicate a requirement for a provider able to sustain the licensing arrangement over an extended period. SMEs were deemed suitable, so the scale need not exclude smaller licensing specialists, provided they can meet the buyer’s requirements and framework conditions. The award establishes the relevant capability profile: Microsoft licensing supply for a fire and rescue service, rather than general software provision.
