Summary of the contracting process

First Choice Homes Oldham procured software licences for Microsoft 365 and associated Microsoft products. The package covers Business Premium, F3 and E3 (including Teams), Teams Phone Standard and Resource Account licences, Power Apps Premium, Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power BI Pro, Teams Pro for meeting rooms and Microsoft 365 E5. The procurement is for software and information systems, for delivery in Greater Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Vodafone Limited, and the contract was signed on 10 September 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027 and is valued at £84,000 gross. The procurement was below threshold; the method is recorded as unknown. It was arranged as one lot. The published information does not state an evaluation basis or award date.

This award shows demand from First Choice Homes Oldham for a broad Microsoft licensing package, spanning productivity, collaboration, telephony, business applications, analytics and meeting-room use. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to provide or source the range of Microsoft licences as a coherent package and support the buyer’s varied user and service needs. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, indicating that providers with the capacity to fulfil a multi-product requirement may be well placed. The procurement is evidence of this buyer’s purchasing route for software licences; it does not establish technical accreditation or service requirements beyond the licence portfolio described.
