The scope covers Microsoft 365, Windows, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, as well as security, identity, server and associated licences. These products underpin daily service delivery, collaboration, document management, communications, information security and access to corporate systems. This is a software licensing requirement, classified under CPV 48000000, rather than a purchase of bespoke software development. The buyer is Sheffield City Council, and the licensing supports its technology estate in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited. Sheffield City Council used a direct award procedure. The award date was 26 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2029. The awarded value is £16,927,627. The requirement was treated as a services procurement. The published process gives a submission deadline of 26 October 2026. No separate scored evaluation criteria or lot structure are recorded in the procurement details; the stated route was a direct award. Phoenix Software Limited is the selected supplier for the Microsoft enterprise licensing requirement. This award demonstrates substantial, organisation-wide demand from Sheffield City Council for Microsoft licensing spanning productivity, communications, collaboration, security, identity and server products. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the ability to supply and manage a broad Microsoft licensing estate, support products embedded in core ICT and maintain continuity across multiple council services. The breadth of the products involved points to a supplier able to cover both user-facing platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Teams and underlying systems including Windows, Exchange Online and server licensing. The scale and central importance of the estate favour suppliers with the capacity and Microsoft licensing expertise to support a large public-sector organisation. ## Notice Sheffield City Council relies on Microsoft licensing to support core ICT services across the organisation. Microsoft 365, Windows, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, security, identity, server and associated licensing are embedded throughout the Council's technology estate. These products support day-to-day service delivery, collaboration, document management, communication, information security and access to corporate systems. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9efe490a-aa5c-43ab-b4fd-cff0ea35fe22 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Oct 2026 | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2026 - 30 Oct 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,927,627 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £16,927,627 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Sheffield City Council | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Postcode area | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Phoenix Software | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 26 Oct 2026 at 09:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9efe490a-aa5c-43ab-b4fd-cff0ea35fe22 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9efe490a-aa5c-43ab-b4fd-cff0ea35fe22 26th October 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=110410&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104130 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://sheffield.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
