Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for renewing Microsoft EES D365 licences has been completed by Nottingham Trent University. This contract falls under the Software package and information systems category, addressing the need for goods to be delivered across several regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement method was limited, involving a mini competition through SUPC's Software Licence Resellers Agreement SLRA. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited, who successfully secured the tender valued at £1,773,389, with the agreement finalised on 20th March 2026.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions and information systems. Companies with expertise in relationship management, product knowledge, and added value have a distinct advantage, as these quality criteria were weighted alongside pricing considerations in the award decision. Large-scale businesses, like Phoenix Software Limited, involved in software reselling could find growth prospects when collaborating with substantial entities such as educational institutions. The successful procurement highlights the significance of competitive positioning in limited procurement processes lacking a prior call for competition.
