## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, specifically Defence Equipment and Support based in Liverpool, has completed a procurement process for Microsoft VDA Licences. Initially planned for two years, the contract has been revised to end on 31 August 2020, with a total value of £83,649.72. This contract was awarded following a selective procurement method, involved a tender period that ended on 10 April 2019, and fell under the category of software package and information systems. The contract commenced on 30 April 2019 and is now active until 29 April 2021.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for software companies, particularly SMEs, to establish a foothold in public sector contracting. Businesses that specialise in licensing agreements, particularly those with experience in providing software solutions for government entities, would be well-suited to compete. By engaging in such procurement processes, companies can not only broaden their client base but also foster long-term relationships within the public procurement space.
