## Summary

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has successfully completed the procurement process for "Long Term Service Channel Licences for Windows 10" as part of a further competition under the Crown Commercial Services RM6068 framework. The contract, valued at £131,648, involves the provision of 450 Long Term Service Channel (LTSC) licences to ensure compliance with Microsoft Licensing, allowing the rollout of Windows 10 across various terminals. The tender period ended on 9 March 2022, with the contract commencing on 25 March 2022 and running until 24 March 2025. This procurement falls under the software package suites category and was conducted using a selective procurement method.

This contracting opportunity presents significant prospects for software suppliers, especially those with experience in providing Microsoft licensing services and related software solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on IT services and have the capacity to support the MCA’s upgrade requirements would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. By engaging in such procurement processes, businesses can expand their portfolio, strengthen relationships with government bodies, and play a crucial role in upgrading essential public sector technologies.

## Notice

MCA utilises Blue Light network terminals that require Long Term Service Channel (LTSC) licences to become compliant with Microsoft Licensing. The procurement of the 450 LTSC licences will allow for the rollout of the Windows 10 operating system to be scheduled in with the HM Coastguard teams so that all terminals are fully licenced and supported to 2025. This will be upgrading the affected PCs from the Windows 7 Operating System. This opportunity was a Further Competition run under Crown Commercial Services RM6068 framework, open to all Lot 3 suppliers.
