## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has completed a procurement process for the renewal of its Enterprise License Agreement for Microsoft Office 365, officially titled "Microsoft Office 365 ELA." This contract falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with a total contract value of £18 million. The procurement method employed was a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 1 April 2020 and will run until 31 March 2023, with the tender period ending on 1 February 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand within the software services sector, particularly those specialising in IT solutions and software licensing.
