Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is buying Microsoft software licences and associated services. This is a supply requirement for software products and related support, procured through the Government Commercial Agency’s Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. Delivery is to the Trust in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The requirement is described as Microsoft licences and associated services, without a more detailed breakdown of products or service tasks. It serves the Trust’s organisational technology needs and is relevant to suppliers able to provide Microsoft licensing alongside associated services to a public-sector healthcare organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD. The award was made on 21 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its awarded value is £590,659.03. The estimated procurement range was £492,215.86 to £590,659.03. The Trust used a selective call-off from the Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework rather than an open tender. The response deadline was 26 May 2026 at noon. No lots are identified. The published information gives no separate scoring or evaluation criteria beyond the use of the framework and the selection of the successful supplier.

This award demonstrates substantial demand at Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for Microsoft licences bundled with associated services, delivered through a government technology framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide a dependable route to the relevant Microsoft licences and the capability to support the associated services over a multi-year arrangement. The selected supplier is a large business, and the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates a scale and route that may favour established providers able to meet framework requirements and serve an NHS organisation. Experience supplying software licensing and related services to public-sector customers would be relevant to demonstrating credibility.
