Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for "Microsoft Contract", led by City of York Council, has reached the award stage, marking the status as complete. Targeting the software package and information systems industry, the procurement relates to the provision of Microsoft Licences under Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement. The procurement method was limited, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, a process permitted as it falls outside directive scope. Located in the UKE21 region of York, the contract was signed on 15th April 2025, with a value of £2,067,584.76 and was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited.

This tender offers a significant business opportunity for large-scale suppliers focused on software and information systems. Companies like Phoenix Software Limited, which have the capacity to handle substantial government contracts, are well-positioned to benefit from such award processes. While the specific procurement method used limited competition, organisations already part of relevant frameworks can leverage these opportunities for growth through direct call-off arrangements. This strategy can lead to enhanced business relationships with regional authorities, providing avenues for further collaborations in the public sector.
