Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire bought Windows 10 end-of-support licences for 1,200 devices. This is a software licensing requirement intended to keep the covered devices licensed after Windows 10 support ends. The work is associated with Lincolnshire; the buyer is based in Lincoln. The procurement was made under the buyer’s established Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, which is the stated basis for sourcing these licences. The requirement is for licences rather than software development, hardware supply or a wider IT support service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd. The buyer used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, relying on licences being procured under its established Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. The single lot was evaluated on price. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and has a value of £113,160. No contract period is stated. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the recorded outcome is therefore an active award and contract to Phoenix Software Ltd, rather than an invitation to compete for this purchase. One bid was recorded.

For suppliers seeking similar work from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, this purchase indicates demand for Microsoft Windows licensing at a substantial device scale. A credible competitor would need to supply valid licensing for a large fleet and demonstrate a route to market compatible with the buyer’s established Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so competitive commercial terms would matter alongside the ability to meet the licensing requirement. Phoenix Software Ltd, a large supplier, received the award. Suppliers with relevant Microsoft licensing expertise, experience handling enterprise agreements and capacity to provision licences across many devices are best placed to compete when this buyer next needs comparable Windows end-of-support licensing.
