Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Trinity University procured Microsoft 365 licence agreements for its organisation, covering software licences rather than implementation, consultancy or construction work. The requirement falls within software packages and information systems and is classified as goods. Delivery is associated with Leeds Trinity University in Leeds, England. This is a technology licensing opportunity for suppliers able to provide Microsoft 365 subscriptions or licences and manage the associated supply arrangement. The procurement was run by Leeds Trinity University, which is both the buyer and the organisation using the licences. The requirement is suited to businesses operating in software licensing, Microsoft product supply or public-sector technology procurement, including smaller firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 August 2026 to Phoenix Software Limited. It used a selective call-off from the SUPC awarded framework agreement (SLRA), rather than an open standalone tender. The awarded value is £520,000, with the contract running from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published data identifies the procurement method and framework route but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The awarded supplier is Phoenix Software Limited. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined education-sector demand for Microsoft 365 licensing through an established framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the ability to supply Microsoft 365 licences at institutional scale, work within framework call-off procedures and support a multi-year public-sector agreement. Relevant businesses are likely to include software resellers, licensing specialists and technology providers with strong knowledge of Microsoft commercial arrangements. Smaller firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable to participate, so scale alone is not presented as a barrier. The selected supplier’s large-organisation status indicates that established capacity and dependable licence fulfilment may be important when competing for comparable university requirements.
