Notice Information

Notice Title

Microsoft Premier Support

Notice Description

Microsoft technologies and services underpin most of the Tier 1 applications used across the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) including Case Management Services, Corporate Apps, Intranet, Email, VDI and Kofax Scanning. Supporting this environment is both complex and time critical. Direct access to best practice support and advice for Microsoft technology and services allows COPFS to meet our Service Level Agreements and ensure services remain available to COPFS users.

Lot Information

Lot 1

In addition to accessing proactive support and advice this allows COPFS to plan, architect and deploy new services. This will be a key requirement for the COPFS Digital Strategy delivery plan and in particular the Digital Workplace project to ensure COPFS make best use of the Microsoft licenses and services we have recently contracted to purchase through the contract award of our Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, which includes M365 licenses for all COPFS users for the next 3 years. Whilst other routes to market were considered, COPFS ultimately chose to procure these support services through our Microsoft Enterprise Agreement partner.
