Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council has completed the procurement process for Microsoft Enterprise Agreement Licenses, classified under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" with CPV code 48000000. The procurement method employed was a selective process, specifically a restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £6,400,032.12, was signed on 24th February 2025 with Bytes Software Services as the awarded supplier. The procurement pertains to the UKK23 region, covering Taunton, UK. This tender reached the award stage on 4th March 2025, following the initial tender process for the Further Competition from the Framework Agreement for Software Reseller Services (2023/S 000-012746).
