Summary of the contracting process

The Peabody Trust, functioning as a public authority within sub-central government, is planning a procurement process for "Microsoft Enterprise Agreement Licensing and Support". This process falls under the services category and encompasses software package and information systems, license management software, and software supply services. The procurement is at the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 1st October 2026. The project is situated in the United Kingdom with contracts expected to run from 1st March 2027 to 28th February 2030. Currently, the exact procurement route, contract structure, and services scope are under review.

This anticipated procurement offers significant opportunities for vendors specialising in software licensing, support services, and management solutions related to Microsoft Enterprise Agreements. Businesses capable of delivering comprehensive software assurance and support services would find this tender particularly appealing. Since the procurement route is not yet finalised, businesses with the flexibility to engage in either framework agreements or competitive tendering processes may be well-positioned to compete successfully. Additionally, early engagement might provide an advantage in shaping the potential scope of the contract to better suit specific business capabilities.
