Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Truro and Penwith Academy Trust bought Microsoft software licences and associated services for academies and schools through the CPC framework for software licences and related services. This is a purchase of software, rather than a works or general consultancy requirement. The specified lot covered Microsoft licences; the procurement description does not set out further detail on quantities, licence types or support tasks. Delivery addresses include Truro (TR4 9LD) and are listed as the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the academy trust, based in Truro, Cornwall.

The further competition has been completed and awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd. The award date was 13 October 2026 and the awarded contract value is £252,548.04. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The competition used an open procedure within the CPC Software Licences and Associated Services for Academies and Schools framework, specifically its Microsoft licences lot. The original estimated procurement value was £300,000. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 18:00. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria or provide more detailed eligibility requirements.

This award shows that Truro and Penwith Academy Trust purchases Microsoft licences for academies and schools through a framework-based further competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to supply Microsoft licensing and provide the associated services required by schools, with the capacity to serve the stated range of delivery locations. Experience of supplying education organisations and managing licensing across multiple institutions would be relevant to establishing credibility, although the procurement does not state these as formal selection requirements. The successful supplier was Phoenix Software Ltd, showing that a software supplier was selected for the work. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers were not excluded from competing.
