## Summary

The Academy Transformation Trust has completed the procurement process for the provision of Microsoft Licenses under the SUPC Software Licence Resellers Agreement (SLRA), facilitated via Jisc Chest. This procurement, classified under the "Software-related services" industry category, utilises a "limited" procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The awarded contract for Microsoft Education licensing was completed in the UK, covering regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. This contract, entitled "Call-Off Contract for Microsoft EES Licensing," was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited on 5th February 2026, following the framework's desktop calculator evaluation, which ranked Phoenix Software Ltd as the top supplier.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software licences and educational technology solutions. Businesses that can offer exceptional relationship management, product knowledge, and added value—alongside competitive pricing—are particularly well-suited to such opportunities. Since the procurement was managed through a pre-established framework, companies already positioned within such frameworks can considerably streamline their participation, reducing time and resources spent on bidding processes and fostering long-term business engagements with trust-wide contract potential.

## Notice

This contract award relates to the renewal of Microsoft licensing under the Microsoft Education Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) programme through the SUPC Software Licence Resellers Agreement (SLRA) / Jisc Chest Framework, Lot 1. A desktop-calculator evaluation was undertaken in accordance with the framework rules, which ranked Phoenix Software Ltd as the first-placed supplier. Internal governance approval was granted to proceed with a direct award call-off to Phoenix Software Ltd.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of Microsoft licensing and associated services under the Education Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) programme, including M365, security, infrastructure, and productivity applications. The call-off is placed under the SUPC/Jisc National Framework for Software Licence Resellers (SLRA), Lot 1 - Microsoft EES. The framework's desktop calculator mechanism identified Phoenix Software Ltd as ranked supplier number 1 and therefore eligible for direct award. Additional information: 36-month agreement with no extension option.

### Procurement Information

This award has been made under the SUPC Software Licence Resellers Agreement (SLRA) delivered via Jisc Chest, which is a framework agreement established in full compliance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Under Regulation 33, contracting authorities may award call-off contracts without the need for a new contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union or the Find a Tender Service, provided the framework was itself tendered in accordance with the Regulations. The framework specifies permissible award procedures, including the use of a desktop calculator ranking methodology to determine the highest-ranked supplier for direct award. The Trust followed this prescribed mechanism, which identified Phoenix Software Ltd as the first-ranked supplier. As the framework already set out the terms governing this award method, and the competitive process had been undertaken when the framework was established, no further publication or competition was required. Therefore, the award of this call-off contract without prior publication is lawful under PCR 2015 Regulation 33, as the procurement is conducted wholly within the scope of an existing, valid framework agreement.
