## Summary

The Science Museum Group, a central government public authority located in London, has completed the awarding stage for the renewal of Microsoft Office 365 licenses. This procurement, listed under industry category "Software package and information systems", had its award notice published on 1st December 2025, with a scheduled contract period running from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2028. The procurement process followed a direct award method due to Microsoft's status as the sole provider capable of meeting the specific needs outlined in the tender.

Business growth opportunities arise for suppliers of complementary software and IT solutions aligned with the Office 365 suite, particularly those focused on integration and enhancing organisational productivity. While the direct award approach limits competition for the primary procurement, businesses specialising in add-ons and customisation services within this ecosystem could benefit substantially by offering value-added solutions that integrate with Office 365. These suppliers can potentially develop partnerships or offer services that could appeal to organisations like the Science Museum Group, seeking optimisation of their software investments.

## Notice

Renewal of the Office 365 Subscription Agreement with Microsoft, which provide access to our Office Suite, Teams Telephony, SharePoint, Intranet and several other security & compliance features.

### Procurement Information

Microsoft is the sole provider of Office 365 services, including Teams Telephony, SharePoint, and associated security and compliance features. These services are proprietary and cannot be supplied or maintained by any other vendor. Alternative solutions would not meet our operational and interoperability requirements without disproportionate cost and disruption.
