This contract, identified as "Microsoft ESA", is within the health sector, and its scope covers the region of Scotland. The procurement process led to the awarding of the contract on 1st May 2025, following a call-off from the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller framework. The current stage is the Award, with the contract valued at £253,000,000, awarded to Computacenter. The buying organisation is based in Edinburgh, UK, ensuring procurement aligns with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for large-scale businesses capable of providing comprehensive enterprise-level software solutions within the public sector, particularly those involved in health-related informatics.
