Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "NFC149 Microsoft Aggregation" was conducted by the Office for National Statistics, a national or federal agency in the United Kingdom. This completed award process involved the procurement of software packages and information systems under the CPV classification 48000000, specifically focusing on a Microsoft Volume Licensing agreement. The procurement method was 'limited,' allowing for an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to regulatory exemptions. The contract call-off value was varied to account for Microsoft usage until 31 October 2025. The contract was signed on 16 June 2025, with Boxxe Limited as the supplier. The procurement was conducted under the goods category, and the associated delivery location is the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those with the capacity to manage large-scale software licensing agreements. Large-scale businesses with existing relationships or expertise in handling Microsoft products would be well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes. Furthermore, companies that can adhere to regulatory frameworks allowing contract value variations and handle extensive procurement documentation may find this tender model advantageous for growth opportunities and to bolster their portfolio in public sector software agreements.
