## Summary

Uttlesford District Council has completed the procurement process for the renewal of Microsoft licenses, classified under license management software packages within the goods category. The procurement was conducted through a call-off procedure via mini-competition under the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded on 16th February 2026 to Bytes Software Services Limited, based in Leatherhead, UK, with a contract value of £538,000. The procurement activity took place within the UKH region, specifically targeting regional or local authority needs in Saffron Walden.

This procurement activity presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in software licensing and management services. Companies with expertise in providing such software solutions can leverage frameworks like the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Framework to gain visibility and compete in similar tenders. Large-scale businesses, particularly those with established platforms for electronic bids, as evidenced by the four bids received, were well-suited to compete in this tender process. The approach of utilising a limited procurement method implies that businesses with niche capabilities and established relationships within frameworks can benefit from similar opportunities.
