## Summary

The procurement process for Microsoft Licences, specifically under the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, was undertaken by the Avon Fire Authority. This tender falls under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems and targets the provision of goods within the UK region "UKK1". The procurement stage has reached completion with the award contract dated 29th January 2026, following the award being signed on 29th September 2025. The method used was a limited procedure without publication of a call for competition, directed by Crown Commercial Services through the NFC190 aggregation route. The contract, valued at £923,826.20, includes an option for a 12-month extension despite a lot being cancelled earlier.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in software licensing and IT solutions, particularly those that are experienced or interested in working with public sector organisations like fire authorities. Large enterprises, such as Ultima Business Solutions Limited, have already secured the contract due to their capacity to deliver on quality and price criteria, with a strong focus on the latter (80%). Businesses that can provide competitive pricing alongside high-quality technical offerings are well-suited for such opportunities. The involvement of Crown Commercial Services highlights the importance of compliance with governmental procurement frameworks for interested suppliers.
