The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), a public undertaking in Teddington, United Kingdom, has completed a direct award contract process for the provision of Microsoft Support Solutions. This procurement falls under the IT services industry category and was necessary due to the specialist expertise required, which is exclusively available from Microsoft Limited, based in Reading.
