## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council procured Microsoft cloud solution services for use in England. The requirement covers Microsoft cloud provision, including software licensing and associated information technology support, consulting and related services. It sits within the wider category of IT services, software development, internet and support, with a particular focus on licence management and information technology services. The council is the buying organisation and the named requirement is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider arrangement. The procurement is intended to support the council’s Microsoft cloud environment over the life of the arrangement. It is a services contract rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction works, and is relevant to providers of Microsoft cloud, software licensing and associated IT services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 February 2026 through a direct award under the GCA Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 3 Software. The contract was awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited for £192,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 February 2026 to 26 February 2028. The tender deadline was 26 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. There were no lots or separate awards recorded. The evaluation route was a direct award rather than an open competition. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the appointed supplier is recorded as a large organisation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Wolverhampton City Council for managed Microsoft cloud provision and software licensing through a public-sector technology framework. Suppliers considering future opportunities with this buyer would need credible capability in Microsoft cloud solutions, licence management and supporting information technology services. They would also need to understand framework-based purchasing and be able to deliver and support a council-wide cloud arrangement over a multi-year period. Relevant strengths include technical expertise across Microsoft cloud products, reliable licensing administration, service support, consulting and software-related IT delivery. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers may be credible where they can demonstrate the required Microsoft and public-sector delivery capability.
