Summary of the contracting process

Salix Finance Ltd, a public body based in London, has completed the procurement process for a "Server Support Contract" focusing on system and support services, specifically Microsoft 365 and Azure server support. The procurement fell under the services category, with a specific focus on regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The process, finalised on 22nd September 2025, utilised a limited procurement method via a G-Cloud 14 framework, awarding the contract directly to Pheonix Software Ltd without prior publication of a call for competition. The award stage has been marked as complete, and the contract valued at £42,360 was signed on 15th September 2025.

This tender presents a favourable opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of providing robust support for Microsoft and Azure platforms. Although this specific procurement was awarded without opening to broad competition, similar opportunities could be valuable for large-scale IT service providers aiming to expand their footprint within public sector contracts. Companies experienced in dealing with public bodies and framework agreements, such as those involving G-Cloud, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future, enhancing their business growth and strategic positioning in the market.
