Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured Microsoft Server Cloud Enrolment licences. This is a software and information systems requirement covering Microsoft server cloud enrolment, for use by the Trust in Cambridge. The purchase is for licences rather than software development, hardware supply or general IT support. It sits within the goods category and relates specifically to Microsoft’s server and cloud licensing environment. Businesses operating as Microsoft licensing partners, cloud software resellers or enterprise technology suppliers would recognise the requirement. The buying organisation is a public NHS trust based at Hills Road, Cambridge, and the awarded supplier, Phoenix Software Ltd, is based in York.

The procurement has reached the awarded and contracting stage. Phoenix Software Ltd was selected for the Microsoft Server Cloud Enrolment licences, with an awarded contract value of £2,750,000. The contract is active and was signed on 14 May 2026. The Trust used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, awarding through a PCR2015 framework. Evaluation was based on price, and one bid was recorded. The requirement was structured as a single lot, which is marked cancelled, although an active award and active contract are recorded against it. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract duration is stated in the published outcome.

This outcome demonstrates substantial demand from an NHS trust for Microsoft server and cloud enrolment licensing at enterprise scale. A future competitor would need strong capability in Microsoft licensing, enrolment administration and cloud subscription management, with the capacity to support a large public-sector technology estate. The route used is important: the Trust relied on a PCR2015 framework and made a limited award without a prior competition, so credible suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework or a route that enables participation in comparable public-sector purchasing. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that operational capacity, licensing expertise and the ability to manage a significant account are commercially relevant.
