Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council, based in Paisley, has concluded the procurement process for a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, addressing their requirement for Microsoft licensing across corporate and academic users. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 following the expiration of the previous agreement on 31 March 2026. This contract falls under the category of goods and utilises the Crown Commercial Services Framework Agreement Technology Products & Associated Services 2, specifically identified under lot 3 for software. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, and the contract, valued at £6,089,901.72, marks the completion of the award stage of this process. The procurement is covered by the GPA and adheres to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, with Phoenix Software being appointed as the supplier.

This tender opens significant opportunities for enterprises specialising in IT software services, particularly those adept at dealing with large-scale Microsoft Enterprise Agreements. Businesses within the technology industry, especially those with expertise in government contracts, will find this framework aligns well with their service offerings. SMEs, like Phoenix Software, which was successful in this bid, can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio and build stronger relationships within the public sector. Given that the procurement method included further competition under established framework agreements, businesses looking to compete must be agile, with strong capabilities to align their services with the detailed specifications of public sector tenders.
