## Summary

The public procurement process led by B F I involves the purchase of 600 Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 Single Licenses, valued at £34,590. This procurement activity is categorised under license management software and is currently complete. The procurement method used was selective, operating as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award notice was published on 26th February 2020, following the tender period which ended on 3rd February 2020.
