## Summary

The procurement process, conducted by Leicestershire County Council, seeks to procure Microsoft Unified Support services, as part of their movement towards a cloud-based technology framework. This tender falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with a total contract value of £104,789.40. The procurement method used is a direct award through the G-cloud 12 framework. The tender period closed on 14th October 2021, and the contract period is set to commence on 2nd November 2021, lasting until 1st November 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in technology services and Microsoft product support. Businesses that can provide comprehensive support solutions for Microsoft technologies and who are adept at navigating contractual agreements with public sector organisations would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. With the trend towards cloud solutions, firms poised to offer efficient, streamlined support services can greatly benefit from engaging in such tenders.

## Notice

The Microsoft technology landscape has changed significantly over the last few years. The LCC Microsoft estate is following a cloud-based roadmap. The Microsoft unified support route would also be a single route for all support required for Microsoft products. In the past there would have been multiple contracts for the various Microsoft technologies resulting in a higher cost than the Microsoft unified support offering and complexities around where issues may lie when problems occur. Direct award by G-cloud 12, LCC contract procedure rule followed.
