Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is buying a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement covering the supply, renewal and management of software licences and cloud services across its organisation. It includes Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Azure and Dynamics 365, along with associated licensing. The services support YPO’s business operations, communications, collaboration, productivity, information management and cyber security. This is a software and information systems procurement (CPV 48000000), classified as goods. Delivery is associated with YPO in Wakefield, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Phoenix Software Limited. The award was made on 8 October 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. The awarded value is £1.4 million; the tender’s estimated value range was £1.4 million to £2.8 million. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The published outcome identifies one supplier; no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

The award demonstrates demand at YPO for an end-to-end Microsoft licensing and cloud-services partner, rather than a supplier of isolated software products. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to manage licence supply and renewals across an organisation, administer cloud services and support a broad Microsoft estate spanning Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Azure and Dynamics 365. The scope also calls for licensing support that enables day-to-day operations, communications, collaboration, information management and cyber security. Suppliers should be able to show they can coordinate these connected needs for a single buyer and sustain service across a multi-year agreement. The procurement was run as a framework call-off, so relevant framework participation and experience delivering Microsoft enterprise agreements would be commercially pertinent.
