## Summary

The University of Southampton has recently awarded a contract for the provision of Microsoft Licences under the Software Licence Resellers (SLRA) Framework.

The University is located in Southampton, England, and falls under the services category.

This procurement opportunity for Microsoft Licences presents a chance for businesses, particularly those providing software supply services, to engage in collaboration with the University of Southampton. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate. The contract is suitable for organisations looking to offer Microsoft-related services and demonstrate a proactive approach to contract management and quality assurance, thereby fostering business growth opportunities within the software services sector.

## Notice

Following a further competition the University has awarded a Contract which will enable the University to work collaboratively with the Service Provider so they can gain an in depth understanding of the Microsoft License requirements, allowing the Service Provider to offer advice and guidance on efficiencies that could be achieved, and how this could be leveraged to provide an improved service offering throughout the term of the Contract. This includes providing a robust and proactive contract management and quality assurance regime, to ensure issues are dealt with before they become problems and to minimise bureaucracy where possible.
