Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "C396342 - Microsoft Licencing Solution Partner" was conducted by the NHS Business Services Authority, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. This tender sought a partner for the renewal of Microsoft licensing, including a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement for all licences and cloud hosting services. Falling under the industry category "Software package and information systems," the selective procurement method was used, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is presently at the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 31 October 2025 and the award notice published on 12 November 2025. The contract is valued at £25,000,000 and will run from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2028.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in software solutions and IT services, that can scale to support large-scale contracts. Though Trustmarque Solutions Limited, a large-scale organisation, has already been named as the supplier, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) had opportunities to engage through framework partnerships. Organisations able to provide comprehensive IT support and cloud integration services within framework agreements would be well-suited to compete in such tenders, paving the way for substantial business growth through governmental contracts.
