## Summary

The Ambulance Radio Programme (ARP) procured Microsoft licensing services for its programme. The requirement covers the supply, management and administration of Microsoft 365 and associated licences, plus licence management and related support. This is a software licensing and support service, rather than a purchase of general ambulance equipment or operational radio services. The buyer is the Ambulance Radio Programme (ARP), associated with South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The requirement is presented as one overall service rather than as separate lots. It combines ongoing access to Microsoft products with administration and support, so the supplier’s role extends beyond simply providing software licences.

The procurement is complete and awarded. ARP used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 21 July 2026. Phoenix Software Limited was selected, and the award is active. The award date and contract start date were 28 September 2026, with the contract running to 27 September 2029. The awarded value is £167,088.60. The procurement was evaluated on the basis recorded for the competition; no further evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information. The requirement was classified as a services procurement and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract covers the Microsoft 365 and associated licensing supply, administration, management and support required by ARP.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates ARP’s demand for a managed Microsoft licensing service, combining licence supply with administration, ongoing licence management and related support. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to show practical capability across the Microsoft 365 licensing lifecycle, including coordinating subscriptions, maintaining accurate licence assignments and providing responsive support. The successful supplier is a small business, indicating that the requirement was competed in a way that did not preclude SME participation. Suppliers with established Microsoft licensing expertise and the operational capacity to manage a multi-year service for a healthcare programme would be well placed to compete. The relevant proposition is this buyer’s specific blend of Microsoft software licensing and continuing management and support, not software supply in general. Framework call-off experience would also be relevant to this route.
