## Summary

The procurement process for the "0460 Information Services Software, Hosting and Associated Services" title has been completed by the Essex County Council, located in Chelmsford, England. The tender, which was initiated on the basis of a framework agreement, aimed to consolidate several software and hosting services, including the renewal of a corporate Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. The contract period commenced on 14 November 2016 and will run until 13 November 2020, with an estimated value of £50 million. The tender was published on 27 September 2016, and the tender period concluded on 25 October 2016.

This opportunity may be particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as the procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing a broad competition. Interested suppliers, especially those in the IT services sector—including software development, consulting, and hosting services—should consider registering on the Essex County Council's Supplier Portal, Ariba, to engage effectively. This could lead to significant business growth, as successful bidders will have the chance to contribute to various public sector organisations that utilise this framework agreement.
