## Summary

The Electoral Commission is engaging in a public procurement process aiming to renew a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement through a 12-month direct award to Phoenix Software. This process respects the classification "Software package and information systems" under the CPV code 48000000. Located in London, the contract begins on 1 May 2026 and lasts until 30 April 2027. The procurement method used is selective, via a call-off from a framework agreement, and has reached the award stage as of 18 May 2026, with a total contract value of £284,272.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in software and information systems, particularly those capable of providing enterprise-level licensing solutions. While the contract has been directly awarded to Phoenix Software, businesses that can offer integration, support, and management services compatible with enterprise software agreements may benefit from subcontracting opportunities. Companies with established expertise in handling large-scale software agreements will be particularly well-suited to exploring growth opportunities in alignment with this contract.

## Notice

The purpose of the 12-month direct award to Phoenix is to cover the renewal of the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. The Microsoft EA renewal will cover a three-year period, from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029. This extension of the channel partner's contract for 12-months is unusual, as the contract with a Microsoft channel partner and the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement typically run in tandem.
