OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "RoS - Microsoft Unified Support" was initiated by Registers of Scotland, a central purchasing body based in Edinburgh, UK. This contract falls under the services category and involves the provision of Microsoft Unified Support for a duration of 18 months. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as the services can only be provided directly by Microsoft in line with UK government agreements. The contract was signed on 2 December 2019, and the procurement process is now complete.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT support services, particularly those with capabilities around Microsoft products. Companies that can provide similar support services or partnerships with major service providers like Microsoft would be well-suited to compete for future tenders. Although only one bid was made for this specific contract, which demonstrates limited competition, understanding the procurement rationale can help potential suppliers align their offerings with the needs of public sector organisations seeking specialised technical assistance.
