## Summary

East Sussex County Council has recently completed the procurement process for the ESCC Microsoft LSP contract, which aims to appoint a Microsoft Licensing Solution Provider to support both the council and its Orbis partnership with Surrey County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council. This contract falls under the software package and information systems category and will be delivered in the South East region of England. The procurement method used was selective, with the tender phase ending on 4th February 2022 and the contract period commencing on 21st March 2022 and running until 30th April 2025. The awarded contract was published on 11th April 2022.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for software and IT service companies, particularly those specialising in Microsoft licensing and enterprise agreements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is tailored to accommodate their capabilities. This is an excellent chance for businesses focused on providing software solutions and licensing services to expand their client base through the Orbis partnership arrangement.

## Notice

East Sussex County Council acting as Lead Authority for the wider Orbis partnership of Councils (Surrey County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council) is looking to appoint a Microsoft Licensing Solution Provider to support itself and other Orbis partner Councils through the finer details of Microsoft Licensing and from which Microsoft agreements and licences can be purchased. Following the further competition through the KCS Professional Services Framework for the supply and delivery of Software Products & Associated Services 2, each Council will seek approval to enter into its own individual framework call-off contract with the successful bidder under which new Microsoft Enterprise Agreements will be entered into. Each Council will then place their own orders for licences and services under their own framework call-off contract. THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE FOR EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL ONLY. The awarded providers pricing was based on estimated quantities, license types and user types as stated in the tender (estimations produced by the Service working with the incumbent provider). There will be a further piece of work at the beginning of the contract to review users, licenses and quantities before finalising the numbers for the new agreements.
