## Summary

The University of Staffordshire procured a Microsoft EES Campus Agreement: a three-year campus-wide software licensing arrangement covering Microsoft software and related information systems. The requirement is categorised as software packages and information systems, with delivery for the university in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The buyer is the University of Staffordshire, an education organisation. The agreement was procured through the Software Licence Resellers Agreement and Consultancy Services Framework operated by SUPC, linking the requirement to specialist public-sector software licensing and reseller services rather than general IT support or hardware supply.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The University of Staffordshire used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, awarding through the SUPC framework. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. Phoenix Software Ltd was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and has a value of £1,064,000. The underlying requirement was for a three-year Microsoft EES Campus Agreement. The procurement rationale states that the award was compliant under a framework agreement and outside the scope of the relevant directive. The tender is recorded as complete, while the associated lot is recorded as cancelled; the active award and contract identify Phoenix Software Ltd as the selected supplier.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to provide Microsoft campus licensing through an appropriate public-sector reseller route, with the commercial capability to manage a substantial university-wide software agreement. Relevant strengths would include expertise in Microsoft education licensing, licence entitlement and renewal management, account support for a higher-education customer, and the operational capacity to administer users, institutions or campuses at scale. Experience of framework-based public procurement and pricing-led competitions would also be important, since this award was made through a specialist software licence reseller framework and evaluated on price. Suppliers able to combine compliant public-sector contracting with reliable Microsoft licensing administration would be best placed when this buyer next tests the requirement.
