Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Common Services Agency, more commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), located in Edinburgh. The contract, titled "NP610825 M365 CoreView Licence and Enhanced Tenant Management Solution," falls under the Health industry category. It was part of an effort by NHS Scotland to improve licence management and governance across the Microsoft 365 platform. The procurement stage has been completed, with the contract awarded on 23rd February 2026, valued at £200,000. The procurement method was limited, executed through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller framework, bypassing the call for competition due to technical reasons.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for those specialising in IT services and software solutions. The focus on licence management and tenant virtualisation offers fertile ground for IT services companies that can provide cutting-edge solutions in governance and operational efficiencies. Large enterprises, such as CoreView who secured the contract, would find this a lucrative opportunity, given their capability to address complex requirements and introduce advanced management tools. Businesses capable of navigating public health sector needs and enhancing digital platform performance are well-suited to compete in such procurements.

Notice Title

NP610825 M365 CoreView Licence and Enhanced Tenant Management Solution

Notice Description

NHS Scotland is seeking to progress with the CoreView enablement project to improve licence management, strengthen governance, and reduce unnecessary Microsoft 365 spend. The national platform currently faces challenges due to inconsistent licence management practices across boards, resulting in avoidable cost, inequity of licence consumption, and operational inefficiencies.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS Scotland is seeking to progress with the CoreView enablement project to improve licence management, strengthen governance, and reduce unnecessary Microsoft 365 spend. The national platform currently faces challenges due to inconsistent licence management practices across boards, resulting in avoidable cost, inequity of licence consumption, and operational inefficiencies. The proposed bundle introduces capabilities--including tenant virtualisation and advanced licence management tools--that would allow faster moving boards to progress at their own pace while maintaining platform integrity and cross board collaboration. These tools would also enable the national team to automatically reclaim inactive licences, addressing widespread under utilisation and preventing the need for further licence procurement.

Procurement Information

This was procured via the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller framework agreement.
