## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by Gloucestershire County Council involved awarding a contract for "Microsoft License Renewal" within the software package and information systems industry category. The process, carried out under a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, resulted in an award to Trustmarque Solutions Ltd. The contract, starting 1 April 2024, spans three years and was facilitated by the Crown Commercial Service’s TePAS framework agreement, specifically under lot 3, which focuses on software and associated services. This procurement aimed to facilitate the council's needs for Microsoft's cloud services, software licences, and support services, with the possibility of a significant uplift in Microsoft 365 Copilot licences incorporated into the contract terms.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in software services and licensing, particularly those experienced in managing Microsoft products. Companies in this field can capitalise on the long-term contract and the associated potential for additional service provisions due to the included 20% contingency for license volume increases. Trustmarque Solutions Ltd, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the award, demonstrating that larger enterprises with the capability to offer comprehensive software and support services are well-positioned to benefit from such government procurements. This engagement underscores the importance of aligning service offerings with public sector needs, particularly in technology-driven solutions.
