Summary of the contracting process

Phoenix Community Housing Association (Bellingham and Downham) Limited, a body governed by public law located in London, has concluded the procurement process for Microsoft Software Licences. The process pertains to the acquisition of goods within the software package and information systems sector (CPV code: 48000000). The procurement stage is currently at the 'Award' stage, with the contract signed on 16th December 2025. The tender was fulfilled through a direct award from a framework agreement without a prior call for competition, specifically to fulfil additional deliveries by the original supplier under strict directive conditions. This procurement involves a contract valued at GBP 220,000, awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited, based in Surrey.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT software services, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts and licensed software distribution. Despite being a 'limited' procurement method, the nature of framework agreements often implies future potential for subsequent tenders or extensions. Companies capable of delivering robust service at competitive pricing could benefit from participating in similar future procurement activities by Phoenix Community Housing or other public housing associations seeking specialised software solutions. Large-scale IT service providers, such as Bytes, are particularly well-suited for such contracts, indicating probable advantages for established organisations within the software licensing industry.
