Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Oxfordshire District Council is procuring the renewal of Microsoft M365 licence products for its organisation. The requirement is a software-related service covering Microsoft M365 licensing rather than software development or bespoke implementation. Delivery is associated with Witney, in Oxfordshire. The procurement is aimed at maintaining the council’s access to Microsoft 365 licence products through a framework arrangement. Suppliers with the ability to provide Microsoft licensing products and manage public-sector licence renewals are relevant to this requirement. The named buyer is West Oxfordshire District Council, a local authority. The requirement was treated as a single lot covering the Microsoft M365 licence products renewal.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the contract awarded through a framework. Trustmarque Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract for the single-lot requirement. The award is active, and the associated contract is active. The contract value is £216,988.87. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026. One bid was recorded. The award criterion was price. The procurement was made under the framework route and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The underlying lot is marked cancelled, while the recorded award and contract remain active.

This outcome indicates established public-sector demand for Microsoft M365 licence renewals at a substantial organisational scale. Suppliers well placed for comparable work will be Microsoft licensing specialists, software resellers or managed service providers with the commercial access and operational capability to renew M365 products for a local authority. Credibility would come from strong Microsoft licensing knowledge, reliable entitlement and subscription administration, accurate product matching, and the capacity to manage a council-wide renewal with minimal disruption. Experience supplying public bodies and working through frameworks would be particularly relevant, as would a competitive pricing model: the recorded award was evaluated on price and attracted one bid. Competitors should therefore demonstrate both framework readiness and clear value for money.
