Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Microsoft Azure Licensed Solutions, valued at £65.6 million. The tender, titled "Microsoft Azure Licenced Solution Provider 2026," falls under the software-related services category and encompasses delivery locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and other parts of the world. The procurement employed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 18th November 2025. The contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited, with the contract period set from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2030.

Large enterprises familiar with public sector contracts and framework agreements stand to benefit significantly, as they can leverage their expertise to meet the needs of the Ministry of Justice and its associated agencies. While the requirements cater to large-scale providers, there remains potential for smaller companies to explore sub-contracting opportunities within the broader solution framework.
