## Summary

Bristol City Council recently completed a public procurement process for the renewal and addition of Microsoft 365 A5 Academic licences, valued at £42,000. This tender was part of the services category within the software package and information systems industry, with the contract period spanning from 8th July 2022 to 7th July 2023. The procurement was conducted through the KCS framework for software, with the tender period ending on 5th July 2022.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the software and IT services industry, particularly those specialising in licensing and Microsoft products. Companies that focus on educational software solutions or have expertise in providing cloud-based services would be well-positioned to compete for future tenders in similar areas. As public sector organisations continue to embrace digital transformation, the demand for such services is likely to grow, making this a lucrative sector for potential suppliers.

## Notice
