Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yeovil College procured Microsoft software licences, with associated software package suites and communication software. The requirement is a goods contract for supplying licensing to support the college’s IT and communications environment. Yeovil College is the buying organisation, based at Holland’s Campus, Mudford Road, Yeovil, England. Delivery coverage is broad: the requirement refers to the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement was linked to the Software License Reseller & Consultancy Services framework, reference ITS4052 SU, indicating a requirement for a supplier able to provide Microsoft licensing through a reseller and consultancy services route.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was £280,000. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd for £74,734.69. The award date was 21 September 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 17 July 2026 at 1pm. Yeovil College identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement covered a single requirement rather than separately described lots. The award concerned the supply of Microsoft licences and related software licensing support, with Phoenix Software Ltd named as the successful supplier.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand from Yeovil College for Microsoft licensing delivered through a software reseller and consultancy services route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong capability in Microsoft licence supply, accurate licence selection and management, and the ability to support an education-sector customer throughout a multi-year arrangement. Experience operating as a software reseller, understanding framework-based public procurement, and providing dependable advice alongside licence fulfilment would be relevant. The broad stated delivery coverage also favours suppliers with robust licensing administration, distribution and customer-support arrangements rather than firms focused only on one local delivery site. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller resellers with the necessary Microsoft and public-sector capability may be well placed.
