UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is planning to procure new Microsoft M365 enterprise licensing to support its administrative software requirements. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category and is valued at approximately £3,000,000. The contract will span three years, from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029, with delivery located within the UKJ11 region. Currently in the planning stage, the Council intends to utilize existing frameworks to efficiently access eligible Microsoft resellers, negating the need for a separate tender notice publication. A contract award notice is anticipated in March 2026 following the compliant call-off process from the framework.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in Microsoft enterprise solutions to secure a significant contract over a three-year period. Companies that are well-suited to offer services through established frameworks will find this project particularly advantageous. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate robust capabilities in the provision of licensed software packages and have existing frameworks partnerships may leverage this opportunity to expand their client base and revenue streams with a respected public sector body. The procurement process, by not requiring a separate tender notice, streamlines the engagement for existing framework resellers, promoting efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
