Summary of the contracting process

The Gambling Commission, a public body located in Birmingham, England, has successfully concluded a procurement process for "Microsoft Unified Support" under the industry category of software package and information systems (CPV Code: 48000000). The procurement, completed through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework, was carried out using a selective method. The total contract value is £56,598, with the contract period spanning from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2025. Key procurement details include awarding the contract to Microsoft Limited, and this marks the conclusion of the tender phase with an active award status as of 30th November 2024.

This tender offers significant business opportunities, especially for companies specialising in software support services. While the contract was directly awarded to Microsoft Limited, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can still benefit by potentially partnering or subcontracting with large organisations in similar frameworks and procurement processes. This approach not only opens doors to new business engagements but also enhances credibility in public sector procurement. Businesses with expertise in information systems and support services would be particularly well-suited to engage with similar opportunities in the future.
