## Summary

Devon County Council has awarded a contract for the supply of ICT Packaged Software Services, valued at £8,000,000. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method with a restricted procedure, with a tender period ending on 31st August 2022 and a contract period from 1st November 2022 to 31st October 2024. The contract creates opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs in the IT services category located in the South West, UK.

This tender from Devon County Council presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support, to engage in the delivery of software solutions to public sector organisations. As the contract period extends over several years, businesses with the capability to provide long-term software licensing solutions and associated services aligned with Microsoft technologies, SaaS, and on-premise solutions are well-suited to compete and potentially grow their business through this procurement opportunity.

## Notice

Devon County Council is seeking to engage an individual specialist Licensing Solution Provider who can offer expert advice, best value and competitive prices for the supply of software, as well as associated Software Asset Management services. DCC will use this agreement to procure software for use by the following, but not limited to: a) Devon County Council b) Schools and Academies (via Scomis*) c) Partners or joint venture organisations where DCC is a key stakeholder (where applicable). *Scomis (a wholly traded service that is part of DCC) and is a leading specialist in school support services, working with over 810 schools and MATS across England in 53 local authorities. Devon County Council (DCC) currently run Windows 10 Enterprise and are predominantly a Microsoft-based organisation. DCC are looking to move to a Microsoft Managed Desktop over the next few years. Our server infrastructure comprises Microsoft Windows Server with System Centre Configuration Manager, VMWare, Oracle, AIX and Linux environments. While our infrastructure is primarily Microsoft, we do purchase third-party software where necessary. DCC would favour electronic delivery of media and license information where possible, suitable for deployment via our current and future MMD environments. DCC will be in the second year of both a Microsoft Enterprise Subscription Agreement and an Open Value Subscription (OVS) agreement, which between them covers user and infrastructure licensing. Any new software requirements would need to consider Software as a Service (SaaS), off-premise and on-premise solutions as a pre-requisite.
