The contract, focused on the provision of Microsoft Software Volume Licences, falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, with supplementary IT services. The procurement employed an open procedure method and was part of a further competition using the Crown Commercial Services RM6098 Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework Lot 3: Software.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in IT services and software solutions. The requirements for providing flexible software licensing open the door for businesses that can deliver scalable solutions tailored to public sector needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly well-suited for such contracts given the Council's suitability criteria favouring SMEs. Companies with robust expertise in Microsoft products and the capacity to offer consultation at critical points during the contract period can significantly benefit from this opportunity to strengthen their public sector portfolio.

## Notice

East Cambridgeshire District Council requires the provision of Microsoft Software Volume Licences. The successful supplier should have the knowledge and availability to be able to assist the Authority with choosing the right licenses for our needs to ensure we remain sufficiently licensed at good value for money, with at minimum discussions taking place at the start of the contract and again at the one-year and two-year marks in case any of the Authority's requirements change. The Authority should be able to add licenses to our agreement at any time and be able to remove licenses at each year mark if not more regularly. Licenses provided will need to either run month on month or annually. Annual licences should run from 1st May to 30th April the following year. This is a further competition using the Crown Commercial Services RM6098 Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework Lot 3: Software.
