## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured 120 Microsoft Standard Office LTSC device licences for Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority. This is a software licensing and licence-management requirement, classified under CPV 48218000. The goods support the authorities’ use of Microsoft Office software on devices across their operations. Delivery is for the East Midlands in the United Kingdom. The purchasing organisation is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, based in Wellingborough. The requirement is categorised as goods and was fulfilled through a technology products and associated services framework arrangement. It is relevant to Microsoft licensing resellers, software asset management providers and technology suppliers able to supply and administer Office LTSC device licences for public-sector users.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the GCA Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, formerly CCS framework RM6098. The tender submission deadline was 10 October 2025 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Ultima Business Solutions Ltd on 23 October 2025 for £36,949.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 October 2025 to 26 October 2028. Ultima is the sole named supplier and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement covers 120 licences, with the contract value representing the awarded amount for the complete requirement.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for Microsoft Standard Office LTSC device licensing within policing and fire and rescue services. A credible future competitor would need to supply the required Microsoft licences accurately at device level, understand public-sector software procurement and manage licensing across operational organisations. Access to the relevant technology products and associated services framework would be important for competing through the same purchasing route. Suppliers should be able to handle licence entitlement, deployment or fulfilment queries and provide dependable account administration throughout a multi-year arrangement. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist Microsoft licensing reseller or technology services business with the necessary framework position and public-sector delivery capability could be well placed when comparable demand returns.
