Summary of the contracting process

DELT Shared Services Limited procured Azure licences for MCA, covering software packages and information systems. The requirement is classified under CPV 48000000 and is categorised as goods. Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buyer is a public authority based in Plymouth. The procurement relates specifically to the supply and use of Microsoft Azure licences, so it is relevant to software licensing providers, cloud technology resellers and suppliers able to support Azure requirements across multiple English locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 1 December 2025 and runs from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £86,619 excluding VAT and £103,942 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies Trustmarque Solutions Limited as the selected supplier. The available procurement information does not set out an evaluation weighting or competitive award basis; the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition. This was a single-lot requirement for Azure licensing rather than a multi-lot competition.

This award demonstrates demand from DELT Shared Services Limited for Azure licensing and related software supply across a broad English delivery footprint. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would have established relationships with Microsoft or the ability to source and manage Azure licences, together with strong knowledge of cloud subscription models, licence compliance and account administration. Experience supporting public-sector or other complex organisations would strengthen credibility, particularly where services must be coordinated across multiple regions. A competing supplier would also need reliable commercial management, clear handling of renewals and changes to licence requirements, and the capacity to provide responsive support throughout the contract lifecycle. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that specialist smaller providers can serve this requirement.
