## Summary

The Cabinet Office has completed a selective procurement process for "Microsoft Licenses under NFC166 Microsoft Aggregation", focusing on software package and information systems. Located in Westminster, London, the buying organisation sought to call-off from a framework agreement, resulting in a contract awarded on 8th May 2024 to the supplier Softcat. The award, worth a total of £22,000,000, covers a contract period from 8th May 2024 to 30th April 2028, with the procurement stage now marked as complete. This process notably aimed to reach small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but did not extend to voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in providing software packages and information systems, who can potentially secure lucrative contracts through strategic partnerships with public sector bodies like the Cabinet Office. SMEs, in particular, stand to benefit from such framework agreements, expanding their market presence and fostering growth by engaging in governmental projects with a high contract value. Companies with the capability to deliver robust digital solutions or software services will align well with the needs outlined in this tender.
