## Summary

Wychavon District Council bought specialist Microsoft 365 consultancy to support local government reorganisation across Worcestershire. The work assesses the Microsoft 365 environments used by participating councils, examines options for future service delivery, governance and consolidation, and produces recommendations and supporting information for decisions on the future Microsoft 365 strategy. It also considers the organisational change requirements associated with reorganisation. This is an IT consultancy services requirement focused on planning how Microsoft 365 should be managed across councils, rather than supplying or implementing a specified technology solution. Delivery is across Worcestershire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Ltd on 6 August 2026. Wychavon District Council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract value is £122,700. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. The submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 12:00. No lots are recorded. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available evaluation information does not set out specific award criteria or weightings.

The award demonstrates demand from Wychavon District Council for strategic Microsoft 365 advice in the context of local government reorganisation. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to review complex Microsoft 365 environments across multiple councils, compare service-delivery and governance models, assess consolidation options, and turn that analysis into clear recommendations for senior decision-makers. Experience working with local authorities and understanding the organisational changes involved in reorganisation would be directly relevant. The work is consultancy-led and short-term, with the emphasis on assessment, options appraisal and decision support rather than technology supply or implementation. Suppliers of different sizes and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this procurement.

## Notice

The contract provides specialist Microsoft 365 consultancy services to support Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) across Worcestershire. The consultancy will assess the existing Microsoft 365 environments operated by participating councils and evaluate options for future service delivery, governance and consolidation arrangements. The scope includes a review of current Microsoft 365 environments, analysis of future operating model options, and the development of recommendations to support decision-making regarding the future Microsoft 365 strategy for local government reorganisation across Worcestershire. The outcome of the engagement will be a set of recommendations and supporting information to inform the future approach to Microsoft 365 services, governance and organisational change requirements.
