## Summary

North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust procured Microsoft 365 Enterprise licences for use across the trust. This is a software licensing supply requirement, rather than a software development or implementation contract. Delivery is associated with Warrington, Cheshire. The requirement is for Microsoft’s enterprise productivity and collaboration software; the published description identifies the licences but does not break down licence numbers, products or deployment tasks. The trust is the buyer and will use the licences for its operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The award was made on 10 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £1,748,279. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 10 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for goods, with a single stated requirement rather than separately described lots. The award information records an active award. The published evaluation basis and any supplier eligibility conditions are not set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows that the trust buys Microsoft 365 enterprise licences through a framework call-off, at a substantial multi-year scale. For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers are likely to need access to the relevant framework route and the ability to supply and support Microsoft enterprise licensing for an NHS organisation. Commercial strength in licensing, account management and fulfilment at organisational scale would be relevant to competing for a comparable requirement. The award went to a large supplier, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the route and scale may favour established providers. The stated scope is licence supply; it does not establish a requirement for broader IT services.
