UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited procured Microsoft Fabric licences as an IT services requirement. The scope covers access to Microsoft Fabric software, with associated software package suite and IT services relating to consulting, software development, internet and support. The requirement is for use across the United Kingdom. The buyer is a housing organisation based in London. The awarded requirement is categorised as services, and is relevant to businesses supplying Microsoft Fabric licensing, software suite procurement or related implementation and support services for public-sector or housing-sector customers. The recorded requirement concerns one procurement lot and was awarded to a large technology supplier, indicating a need that can be fulfilled through an established software and IT services provider.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. SOFTCAT PLC was selected as supplier for the Microsoft Fabric requirement. The contract was signed on 17 June 2026 and runs from 17 June 2026 to 16 June 2027. Its value is £39,726.54 excluding VAT, or £47,671.85 including VAT. The contract is active. The process used one lot, which was completed. The award covers Microsoft Fabric licences and related software and IT services, with evaluation through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. No separate award date is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a housing-sector buyer for Microsoft Fabric licensing supported by a capable technology partner. Businesses best placed to compete when this requirement returns will have a reliable route to supply Microsoft software licences, knowledge of Microsoft Fabric and the ability to support deployment or ongoing use. Relevant capability may include software licensing management, consultancy, software development, internet-based services and technical support. A credible provider should be able to handle a public-sector customer’s purchasing and account requirements, maintain continuity of licensing and provide practical assistance alongside the software. The awarded supplier’s large scale suggests that capacity to manage the requirement and deliver associated support will be commercially important.
