## Summary

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured Microsoft Core Infrastructure Suite software subscriptions for its server infrastructure environment. The service covers Microsoft datacentre and systems-management technologies used to operate, manage, monitor, secure and maintain the Trust’s IT infrastructure. It supports vendor-supported software environments and resilient, secure and reliable digital services. This is an IT software licensing and subscription service, classified under CPV 48218000, rather than a hardware supply or systems implementation project. Delivery is for the Trust’s infrastructure in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, within the East of England. The buying organisation is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS provider with responsibility for the digital environment supporting its services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited on 18 December 2025 for £37,684.80 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 18 December 2025 to 17 December 2026. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and the award was made to the selected framework supplier. The tender submission deadline was 18 October 2025 at 12:00. The opportunity was presented as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. There were no lots identified, so the award covers the Microsoft licensing subscription requirement as a whole.

This award shows sustained NHS demand for Microsoft infrastructure licensing supporting server estates, datacentre technologies and systems management. Suppliers competing for comparable requirements with this Trust would need strong capability in Microsoft Core Infrastructure Suite subscriptions, licensing advice and the commercial administration of vendor software agreements. They would also need to understand the operational requirements of a healthcare organisation, including continuity, security, monitoring, maintenance and access to supported software environments. The selected supplier was a large software services business, indicating that established licensing specialists with sufficient scale, framework access and the ability to manage an organisation-wide infrastructure subscription are well placed. Relevant experience should include reliable public-sector account delivery and support for resilient digital services.
