## Summary

Amplius Living procured Microsoft 365 licences and associated licence-management services for its organisation. The requirement is classified under CPV 48218000, covering licence management software packages, and falls within the services category. Delivery is for the South East of England, with the buying organisation based in Milton Keynes. The practical focus is the provision and management of Microsoft 365 licensing rather than software development, hardware supply or general IT support. This is relevant to Microsoft licensing specialists, software resellers, cloud solution providers and managed service businesses with the commercial arrangements and operational capability to administer Microsoft 365 licences for a sizeable public-sector or housing-related organisation.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded through a tender process. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026, and the award was made on 24 June 2026 to Phoenix Software Limited. The awarded value is £1,885,901. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The tender’s estimated value was also £1,885,901. The award covers the single Microsoft 365 licensing requirement, with Phoenix Software Limited named as the successful supplier. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a procurement intended for a larger or more established supplier. The tender status is complete and the award status is active.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Amplius Living’s demand for managed Microsoft 365 licensing at substantial organisational scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong Microsoft licensing expertise, direct or established reseller access to Microsoft 365 products, and the capacity to manage licensing accurately across a sizeable user base for a multi-year arrangement. Relevant experience should include licence procurement, subscription administration, renewals, usage control, compliance and support within a complex organisation. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement was unsuitable for SMEs suggests that future competitors are likely to need the financial standing, account management resources, service resilience and delivery infrastructure of a larger specialist software supplier or an equivalent consortium.
