This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category, specifically aimed at renewing Microsoft enterprise subscriptions for a period from 1st May 2018 to 30th April 2021. The contract was valued at £3,755,000, with a specific tender period that ended on 9th April 2018 and an award date of 12th April 2018. The delivery locations are within the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the software and IT services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in software provision and cloud solutions. Companies capable of providing Microsoft licensing solutions or similar services would be well-positioned to compete against established suppliers like Insight Direct (UK) Limited and Phoenix Software Ltd. The procurement method allows flexibility for usage adjustments, which can benefit suppliers who can demonstrate adaptability in their services offered to public sector clients. ## Notice Cheshire East Council (CE) and Cheshire West and Chester (CWAC) have an existing Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA) that is due to expire on 30th April 2018. In the most part, these two agreements licence the East and West Desktop estates. Both Councils are seeking the provision of two new Microsoft Enterprise Subscription Agreements (ESA) one for each council for a period of three years from 1st May 2018 to 1st May 2021 using the Cloud Transformation Agreement (CTA) between Microsoft and the Government Procurement Service. The price will be fixed for three years, allowing the Councils to increase or decrease the usage as appropriate on the anniversary of the agreement. To summarise the scope these have been split into two Requirements which will form the basis of the two contracts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Other | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 9 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Apr 2018 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2018 - 30 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,755,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,907,026 | | 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 | CHESHIRE EAST BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SANDBACH | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW11 1HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Sandbach Town | | Westminster constituency | Congleton | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | INSIGHT DIRECT (UK; PHOENIX SOFTWARE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 6 Aug 2018 at 11:54 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 - 6 Aug 2018 at 11:40 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 - 19 Jul 2018 at 13:45 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 - 19 Jul 2018 at 10:04 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 - 19 Jul 2018 at 09:37 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 - 19 Jul 2018 at 09:35 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 - 17 Jul 2018 at 14:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37a86058-d6be-4f93-88ee-35c8e2210da1 17th July 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
