## Summary

The procurement process titled "Azure Project Microsoft Express Route" was conducted by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement was classified under the 'License management software package' category, relevant to the IT services industry, and involved selective method procurement via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender encompassed key locations in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting Equinix LD6 in Slough and Cloud Pop UK South in London, with postal services centred in Worthing, BN11 1HS. Completion of the tender stage was followed by the award stage, with the process concluding with an award on 1 August 2025. The contract commenced on 11 July 2025 and is set to run until 10 July 2028, with the tender period having officially ended on 10 July 2025.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialised in delivering robust software solutions for license and circuit management. The procurement, valued at £34,958.88, although explicitly geared towards larger enterprises and not suited to SMEs or VCSEs, offers a long-term engagement of three years. Industry leaders, similar to WAVENET LIMITED who was awarded the contract, could find substantial growth potential by fulfilling such detailed and location-specific IT requirements, particularly those capable of supporting critical infrastructure across key UK sites.
