## Summary

The University of Salford has completed the procurement for the "Microsoft License Campus Agreement" with an award issued on 24th March 2025. The procurement falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000) and is valued at £1,995,109. This contract was procured using a selective, restricted procedure (above threshold) and will commence on 1st April 2025 and end on 1st April 2028. The delivery address is located at M5 4WT, Salford, England.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in software solutions, due to the University's initiative to foster smaller enterprises. Companies that can offer competitive pricing and superior product quality, especially those experienced with large-scale licensing agreements and campus-wide software implementations, would be well-suited for similar future procurements. The awarded supplier, Softcat, is a large-scale company, but the suitability criteria suggest smaller businesses had a realistic chance in this competitive tender process.
