Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "NP610825 M365 CoreView Licence and Enhanced Tenant Management Solution" involved the Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), an authority based in Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on improving licence management for Microsoft 365. The primary aim was to enhance governance and reduce unnecessary spending due to inconsistent licence management across NHS Scotland. The procurement method employed was limited, executed without prior publication of a call for competition under the award procedure rationale, citing technical reasons that only a particular economic operator could provide the services. The contract was successfully awarded on 23rd February 2026 to CoreView with a total contract value of £200,000.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale IT service providers capable of offering specialized solutions in licence management and tenant virtualization. Businesses well-suited to compete in such tenders would ideally have expertise in technical IT services, with a focus on software development and management solutions similar to the ones required by NHS Scotland. Although this contract has been awarded, similar tenders could be advantageous for those specialising in IT governance and cost-reduction strategies for large public institutions. Understanding the specific needs and technical requirements of health services like NHS Scotland can provide a competitive edge for future opportunities in this sector.

Notice Title

NP610825 M365 CoreView Licence and Enhanced Tenant Management Solution

Notice Description

NHS Scotland is seeking to progress with the CoreView enablement project to improve licence management, strengthen governance, and reduce unnecessary Microsoft 365 spend. The national platform currently faces challenges due to inconsistent licence management practices across boards, resulting in avoidable cost, inequity of licence consumption, and operational inefficiencies.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS Scotland is seeking to progress with the CoreView enablement project to improve licence management, strengthen governance, and reduce unnecessary Microsoft 365 spend. The national platform currently faces challenges due to inconsistent licence management practices across boards, resulting in avoidable cost, inequity of licence consumption, and operational inefficiencies. The proposed bundle introduces capabilities--including tenant virtualisation and advanced licence management tools--that would allow faster moving boards to progress at their own pace while maintaining platform integrity and cross board collaboration. These tools would also enable the national team to automatically reclaim inactive licences, addressing widespread under utilisation and preventing the need for further licence procurement.
