Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has engaged in a public procurement process titled "Microsoft Unified Support," focusing on IT services within the region of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically covering IT consulting, software development, internet, and support. The process, identified by tender ID KMCIT-312, has moved to the award stage as of 7th April 2026, with the contract being awarded via the G-Cloud 14 Framework. Initially anticipated as a limited procedure due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, it resulted in a contract signed on 23rd March 2026 with a value of approximately £403,629.17.

This procurement offers business growth opportunities, particularly for IT service providers specializing in Microsoft product support, including consulting, software development, and reactive and preventative problem resolution.
