## Summary

Lichfield District Council has completed the procurement of computer licences valued at £418,595.73 GBP, under a framework agreement with the selective procurement method. The procurement, classified in the software and information systems category (CPV: 48000000), commenced with the tender initiation and progressed through to the award stage by 25th April 2025. The council, located in the West Midlands, has contracted Ultima Business Solutions Ltd, a large-scale supplier, to deliver Microsoft licenses for LDC computers and servers. The contract will span from 30th May 2025 to 29th May 2028.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems. Companies equipped to supply computer licenses, especially those that fit within existing framework agreements, should find themselves well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Although the contract has been awarded, other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might still leverage connections within the local authority sector or within framework agreements to position themselves for future opportunities. Engaging with the needs of public bodies like Lichfield District Council can help businesses expand their reach into government contracts.
