## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured a Microsoft Products and Services Agreement for Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority. The requirement covers Microsoft products and associated services, including software licence management (CPV 48218000), as a goods contract. Delivery is across the East Midlands. The agreement supports the authorities’ organisational technology needs through access to Microsoft products and the management of associated licences. The buying organisation is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, acting for the police and fire and rescue authority. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded on 4 June 2026 to Ultima Business Solutions Ltd for £90,000 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2029. It was a selective call-off from the GCA Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, formerly CCS, rather than an open competition. The tender deadline was 10 October 2025 at 12:00. The stated value is an upper value for the three-year duration, and the authority is not committed to spending the full amount. The award is active and covers the complete requirement through one supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from a police and fire authority for a supplier able to provide Microsoft products and associated services while managing software licences across public-sector technology environments. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability in Microsoft licensing, product supply and ongoing service support, with the operational capacity to serve both policing and fire and rescue users across the East Midlands. The procurement route also matters: the successful supplier was selected through the GCA Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through its call-off arrangements would be important. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller suppliers may be commercially relevant.
