Summary of the contracting process

DELT Shared Services Limited procured Microsoft licensing for its CIS Suite and remote desktop environment. The requirement covers 32 core licences for CIS Suite Datacentre, 30 core licences for SQL Server Standard and 155 user client-access licences for Remote Desktop Services. All licences are provided under Aligned Subscription (ALng) agreements. The procurement is categorised as goods and concerns software packages and information systems. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is based in Plymouth and provides shared services. This requirement would suit software licensing specialists able to supply Microsoft SQL Server and Remote Desktop Services licences under the specified subscription arrangement.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one completed lot. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 1 May 2026 for the period from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £32,592.82 excluding VAT, or £39,081.38 including VAT. The contract covers the single licensing requirement described above. The published outcome identifies Trustmarque Solutions Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement used the 2023 legal basis and was treated as below the relevant threshold. No separate scored evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award. The arrangement therefore represents a completed, single-supplier purchase rather than a competitive multi-lot opportunity.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting DELT Shared Services Limited’s Microsoft licensing requirements. A credible competitor would need to source and supply Microsoft SQL Server Datacentre and Standard core licences, together with Remote Desktop Services user client-access licences, in the quantities required by the buyer. Experience managing Aligned Subscription agreements would be directly relevant, as would the operational capacity to support licensing across organisations or services delivered throughout England. The requirement is sizeable enough to favour a supplier with established Microsoft licensing channels, accurate licence entitlement management and the ability to handle mixed core-licence and user-licence orders. Suppliers that can demonstrate reliable fulfilment of public-sector software licensing needs and clear understanding of subscription compliance would be well placed when this buyer next reviews comparable provision.
