## Summary

St Albans City & District has completed a procurement process titled "Microsoft Licencing Renewal," focusing on the renewal of software packages and information systems, with a value of £354,000. The procurement falls within the services industry category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The process was conducted through a selective procurement method by calling-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Bytes Software Services on 25 November 2025, with the contract set to begin on 1 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2029.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in software licensing and information systems, particularly those with experience in servicing public sector organisations. Although the procurement was completed, similar opportunities could arise for businesses capable of delivering large-scale IT services to government bodies. Though Bytes Software Services, a large-scale enterprise, was successful, small and medium enterprises may also find prospects in sub-contracting or participating in future selective tender processes within the framework agreements.
