Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the renewal of the Microsoft Campus Agreement has been completed by Coventry University, located in Coventry, United Kingdom. The procured goods fall under the industry category of Software package and information systems, specifically aiming to maintain licensing compliance for Microsoft products across the CU Group. The contract was awarded to CDW Limited under a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the Health Trust Europe Framework. The procurement was compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, and the award of the contract was signed on 29th August 2025, with a total value of £1,283,812.20.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for large-scale enterprises specialising in software systems and licensing solutions. The procurement method was limited, suggesting a specialised approach due to intellectual property protections, which indicates that businesses with exclusive rights or proven expertise in Microsoft products may find themselves best suited to fulfil such contracts. The direct involvement of CDW as the supplier showcases the potential for other firms with established credentials and framework agreements to secure similar prestigious contracts within the educational sector.
