## Summary

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is buying Microsoft licences and associated services, classified as software and information systems. The requirement is for the Trust’s use and is delivered in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. This is a technology-products purchase rather than a bespoke software development or general IT services contract. The procurement was made through the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, so the requirement concerns supplying Microsoft licensing and related support or services under that route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The award date was 14 September 2026, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The awarded value is £431,863.20. The earlier estimated value range was £359,886 to £431,863.20, and the tender deadline was 26 May 2026 at 12:00. The buyer used a selective framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. The published information does not set out award-scoring criteria or separate lots. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award confirms demand from Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust for Microsoft licences together with associated services, procured through the Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. A credible future competitor would need to supply Microsoft licensing at organisational scale and provide the related services required to support the Trust’s use of those products. The award went to a large supplier, and the opportunity was designated unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that suppliers should assess whether they have the scale and framework access to compete for a comparable requirement. Experience delivering Microsoft licensing and associated services to a public-sector healthcare organisation would be relevant evidence of capability.
