The requirement is categorised as IT services. Delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, with an address also listed in the Westminster area of London. The title and description identify the agreement but do not set out its detailed software, licensing or support scope. The procurement is complete and Phoenix Software was selected for the contract. The award was made on 15 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £167,116,326.72. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The process was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information. This award shows substantial public-sector demand for Microsoft enterprise licensing delivered through a framework call-off, with a requirement spanning UK and international locations. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to manage a large, multi-year licensing agreement and support continuity across a geographically broad service. The contract schedules point to expectations covering business continuity and disaster recovery, security, reliability, service levels, continuous improvement, supply-chain visibility, exit management and key supplier staff. Credible competitors would therefore need robust service-management and resilience arrangements, appropriate security controls, and the capacity to provide accountable delivery and support at scale. ## Notice Microsoft Enterprise Agreement LSP ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5738f1f-eae9-41be-aa9d-3affecdd62a7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Sep 2026 | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2026 - 30 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £167,116,326 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £167,116,326 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Postcode area | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Phoenix Software | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72222300 - Information technology services ## Release History - 29 Sep 2026 at 09:31 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5738f1f-eae9-41be-aa9d-3affecdd62a7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5738f1f-eae9-41be-aa9d-3affecdd62a7 29th September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/daf9d3b7-f011-4988-940b-ee2eb125c514 RM6098 Call-Off-Schedule-6-Order-Form_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e09d535a-2686-4ea0-bd89-5cc69712b621 RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 3 Continuous Improvement v1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0fe6cd68-fbe0-4bcf-96ff-f3681b556ebb RM6098 Joint Schedule 9 - Minimum Standards of Reliability v.1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/52ae0ebc-5fea-4973-bf30-3819e55994a3 RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 8 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery v1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/abab6b7f-f538-4b73-94dc-497ba0c619fa RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 9 Security v1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b4e256d8-e19d-46b7-9e67-1dfa54288895 RM6098-Joint-schedule-12-supply-chain-visibility-v.2.1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/60e4df54-d490-4f15-be4f-ba73094fb0c5 RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 14 Service Levels v1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d0e9e949-3834-481a-8414-c3cdbcce3cf0 RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 10 Exit Management v2.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/49aad898-344f-464d-9918-356015d27d7a RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 7 Key Supplier Staff v1.0_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0f772d03-6d0c-42e6-a48c-b096cf5bcfa8 RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 5 Pricing Details v1.0 FINAL_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/955e8e0d-2e54-40a5-acfc-ae9240886bc3 RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 20 Specification v1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ac61735d-8209-460a-b9dd-0a081d24844b RM6098 Joint Schedule 10 - Rectification Plan v.1.0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2f0cc197-10c4-4982-b05c-5fa717326db6 RM6098 Core terms v3.0.11 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3f04e60d-abdb-4100-bf9b-82d9f3b182eb RM6098 Call-Off Schedule 4 Call-Off Tender v1.0 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
