The tender titled "ICT - Microsoft Licences (Microsoft Enterprise Agreement)" was conducted via the Crown Commercial Services Microsoft Aggregation NFC157 for a period from 1st July 2023 to 30th June 2026, initially for three years with a possible one-year extension under exceptional circumstances. The industry category is "Software package and information systems," focusing on the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement has progressed to the award stage as of 18th November 2025, with a total value now updated to £1,707,052.22 due to the addition of AI licences. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software solutions. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd, which qualifies as an SME, reflecting a potentially advantageous opportunity for other similar sized firms to engage with public sector clients. Companies with expertise in IT software packages and those accustomed to navigating aggregated procurement routes via entities like the Crown Commercial Services could find substantial growth potential through involvement in such government contracts. ## Notice Procurement of the Microsoft licences used by the Isle of Wight Council under a three-year agreement.
