## Summary

Leeds City Council is procuring a Microsoft ESA contract through which it will obtain Microsoft-related technology products and associated services. The requirement falls within IT services, including software development, consulting, internet and support services. Delivery is for the council in Leeds and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. Phoenix Software Limited is the named supplier for the requirement. The procurement is intended for council operations rather than a construction, facilities or general business-services contract. It is therefore most relevant to established technology suppliers with a Microsoft-focused portfolio, experience supporting public-sector organisations and the ability to deliver products and associated services through the relevant government framework route.

This procurement has been awarded: Leeds City Council selected Phoenix Software Limited through a direct call-off from the GCA Aggregation NFC200 Under Technology, Products and Associated Services 2 framework, RM6098. The award was made on 9 September 2026 for £13,000,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The procurement record gives a tender-period end date of 10 September 2026. The process used a selective method and was treated as complete. The award is active, and Phoenix Software Limited is the sole named supplier. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking Leeds City Council’s technology demand. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong capability in Microsoft-related products and associated IT services, together with practical experience of software, consulting, internet and support provision. The route to market is significant: the successful supplier was appointed by direct call-off from a government framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to meet its call-off requirements would be important. The scale and duration of the award indicate a substantial, multi-year council requirement, favouring suppliers with the financial strength, delivery capacity and public-sector experience to support a large technology contract.
