## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority for the provision of "Microsoft Unified Support" services. This contract, classified under IT services (CPV code: 72000000), was designed to support both on-premise and cloud-based Microsoft products for Greater Manchester Police, located in the region UKD3. The procurement stage reached completion with an award made to a sole supplier, Microsoft Limited, under a limited procurement method. The contract, valued at £960,000, was signed on 28th March 2025.

While the process utilised a limited procurement method, businesses looking to engage in future tenders with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority should ensure readiness to offer competitive IT solutions, especially in cloud and on-premise environments.
