The published procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria or provide more detailed eligibility requirements. This award shows that Truro and Penwith Academy Trust purchases Microsoft licences for academies and schools through a framework-based further competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to supply Microsoft licensing and provide the associated services required by schools, with the capacity to serve the stated range of delivery locations.
