Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority has initiated a tender process for the "Microsoft Enterprise Agreement and O365 Licences" under the framework RM6068 for technology products and associated services, specifically in the software category. This procurement is currently in the Award stage as of 21 May 2021, following a tender period that concluded on 15 March 2021. The contract, valued at approximately £1,400,000, is set to commence on 1 April 2021 and run until 31 March 2025. The delivery will occur in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom, involving a sole supplier contract for Microsoft licensing and related advisory services.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses that provide software solutions, particularly those that specialise in licensing and cloud services, to engage with a major public sector authority.

Businesses equipped to deliver Microsoft products or comprehensive IT consultancy services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract and can benefit from long-term engagement with a key public service provider.
