## Summary

The procurement process involves Stonewater Limited, a public body focused on housing and community amenities, which has conducted an open tender for a Microsoft Licence Enterprise Agreement. The tender, titled "Microsoft Licence Enterprise Agreement," falls under the IT services industry category (CPV: 72000000) and is located in the United Kingdom. The tender process has been completed on 31st March 2021, and the successful supplier, Phoenix Software Limited, was selected following a bidding process that attracted five submissions. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing for a transparent contract award based primarily on pricing criteria.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in IT services, particularly those specialising in software licensing and support. Companies with strong relationships with Microsoft and capabilities in delivering comprehensive training and development services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms that can offer cost-effective solutions while aligning with social value and sustainability initiatives may find this contract attractive, as Stonewater seeks partners who can flexibly adapt to changing licensing needs over the three-year term.

## Notice

The procurement of a full 3 year Microsoft Agreement, in line with the specified licences for the Stonewater estate, (available in the tender documents). The successful supplier will be expected to provide the most cost effective solution for the required licences as well as being in a strong position with Microsoft to work flexibly with Stonewater over the contract term to add and enhance the licence estate, in line with business changes and demand. The successful supplier should also be able to maximise their delivery of the Stonewater contract in terms providing updates and information on Microsoft products as well as supporting the training and development of Stonewater staff where possible and relevant. A variety of social value and sustainability initiatives should also be targeted by the success.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The procurement was run as an Open Procedure due to the time pressures on delivering the project. Owing to the Prior Information Notice issued on 21st October 2020, the tender process will be conducted as an accelerated procedure with a sole scored focus on pricing. Suppliers were expected to make a commitment to a series of account management criteria, which were presented in the tender documentation, but this was not scored directly in the tender exercise.
