Summary of the contracting process

West Dunbartonshire Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Microsoft Licences for Education. The contract, valued at £250,560, was awarded to Phoenix Software, a large-scale supplier, with the contract signed on 25th June 2025. This tender process falls under the 'General public services' category, with a specific focus on software services (CPV code 72222300). The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, ensuring broad participation. The project will be executed primarily in West Dunbartonshire, under the education sector, encompassing a campus-wide agreement for Microsoft Windows and Office licenses for staff and pupils.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in IT and software services within the education sector. Given the need for large-scale implementations and licence management, businesses with experience in comprehensive software solutions and consulting are especially well-suited to benefit. The tender attracted bids from two SMEs, indicating room for small and medium enterprises to compete in future processes by leveraging similar open procedure opportunities. Moreover, the presence of a completed framework agreement and the use of electronic auctions suggest efficient procurement processes conducive to competitive business engagement.
