Summary of the contracting process

FCDO Services, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, recently completed a procurement process titled "Microsoft Unified Support," classified under IT services such as consulting and software development. The procurement, located in the UK with delivery from Microsoft Campus in Reading, involved a direct method below the competition threshold, culminating in an award notice published on 15th December 2025. This contract, valued at £112,416, is scheduled to run from 27th January 2026 to 26th January 2027, with the procurement stage marked as 'award' and a future contract signature date planned by 20th January 2026.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for large-scale IT service providers, particularly those offering consulting, software development, and comprehensive support services.
