Summary of the contracting process

Pool Re Services Limited is currently in the tender stage for a Microsoft Licensing Agreement, aimed at appointing a supplier for their Microsoft licenses. This procurement falls under the IT services industry category, specifically involving document creation software packages and software package suites. The tender process is open and below the threshold for competition, with the submission deadline set for 25th September 2025 at 14:00 BST and enquiries closing by 15th September 2025 at 14:00 BST. The contract is to commence on 21st November 2025 and could be extended for two additional 12-month periods, potentially lasting until 20th November 2028. Pool Re Services is based in London, which could be advantageous for companies in or near the UK capital.

Given that the agreement allows for the purchase of additional licenses during the contract period, it presents an opportunity for long-term collaboration with Pool Re Services Limited. Companies of all sizes, especially SMEs looking to expand their client base in the public sector, would find this contract appealing due to its potential duration and the authority's sub-central government status. The open competition method provides a fair chance for qualified suppliers to secure a pivotal role in supporting Pool Re’s licensing needs.
