PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife College procured Microsoft licensing for its staff and students through a Microsoft Enterprise (Campus) Agreement. The requirement is for software licensing, rather than general IT consultancy or hardware supply. It was managed by Fife College, an education provider, and relates to delivery in the Fife area of Scotland. The procurement was structured as a single lot under the Software Licence Reseller and Consultancy Services framework. The requirement therefore concerns supplying and managing Microsoft licences for a college community, through the framework’s software-reseller route.

The procurement is complete and Phoenix Software Ltd was selected for the single-lot requirement. The contract is active and was signed on 19 October 2026. Its value is £383,675.58. The selection was made by direct award under Lot 1 of the Software Licence Reseller and Consultancy Services framework (ITS4052 SU). The notice also labels the procurement method as an open procedure, although its description identifies the award as direct. The published information does not state a separate award date, contract start or end date, or evaluation criteria. One bid was recorded for the lot; it was submitted electronically and came from a non-EU supplier.

For suppliers that did not secure this contract, the award demonstrates demand from Fife College for Microsoft licensing covering both staff and students. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply and manage Microsoft licences at college-wide scale, understand campus licensing needs, and be capable of serving an education provider. The route used was a direct award from a software licence reseller and consultancy framework, so a supplier’s ability to compete through that framework would be commercially relevant. The procurement describes a licensing requirement, not a broader technology deployment; suppliers whose strength is licence provision and related reseller services are therefore a closer fit than businesses focused only on unrelated IT services or products.
