Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Microsoft EES Agreement" was conducted by Nottingham College, located in East Midlands, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems, with a total value of £580,000. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a pre-established arrangement of suppliers. The contract period commenced on the 30th of October, 2025, and will conclude on the 31st of October, 2028. As of the latest update, the procurement stage has reached the award phase, with Phoenix Software Limited being designated as the supplier. The tender process was completed, with an award notice published on the 2nd of January, 2026.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses specialising in software and technology solutions to expand their offerings, particularly those equipped to deliver comprehensive software packages. Although Phoenix Software Limited, a large-scale company, was awarded the contract, the mention of suitability for SMEs suggests smaller enterprises have potential opportunities in future procurements. Businesses that have capabilities in developing industry-specific software, networking and internet software, document creation tools, communication, multimedia programs, and information systems will find opportunities to leverage their expertise in similar contracts. The selective procurement method implies a competitive landscape where relationships with framework agreement entities play a crucial role.
