Summary of the contracting process

North Bristol NHS Trust, a central government public authority based in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Microsoft true-up license". This contract falls under the IT software package industry category, indicating a focus on electronic goods. The procurement method was direct and classified as below threshold, executed without competition. The procurement stage has concluded with the contracting process reaching completion, and the award was recorded on 15th June 2026. The contract period is set from 15th June to 30th June 2026, with the delivery of goods required across multiple UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.
