## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the renewal of its Microsoft Server Cloud Enrolment (SCE) licence. The contract, which falls under the license management software package industry category, is aimed at ensuring continued use of Microsoft products, which are integral to the council's ICT infrastructure. The procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure, with key deadlines including a tender period ending on 24 January 2025 and a contract period starting on 1 April 2025 and concluding on 31 March 2028. The project is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, with a primary focus on services related to license management software development.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in license management software packages and development services. It is particularly well-suited for larger businesses that can support the extensive ICT requirements of a large local government entity. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find the scale of the project challenging, companies like boxxe Limited and Phoenix Software Ltd, which have been awarded the contract, demonstrate the level of expertise and capability required to succeed in this sector.

## Notice

The renewal of the Microsoft SCE license agreement is required for the continued use of the technology products being delivered through the agreement and for continued usage, vendor support and software license compliancy. Microsoft products make up a large part of the existing ICT Infrastructure of the Council and these are being expanded through the implementation of the ICT and Digital Strategy to deliver better service outcomes.
