## Summary

Lancashire Combined Fire Authority procured a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement through Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service. It covers Microsoft licences and related services, including desktop Microsoft 365 products such as Teams, Office and Visio, plus server licences needed to support the network. The requirement is for software licensing rather than hardware supply. Delivery addresses span England, covering North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The agreement supports the authority’s desktop software and network infrastructure across that broad footprint.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 15 June 2026, with a value of £2,196,073.24. Lancashire Combined Fire Authority participated in a Crown Commercial Service aggregated further competition for public sector customers, using the Technology Products and Associated Services Framework, Lot 3 Software. The procedure was a limited award without a separately published call for competition. The underlying lot’s stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The published lot itself is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the recorded contract outcome is therefore the active agreement with Phoenix Software Ltd.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable requirement from Lancashire Combined Fire Authority, this award indicates demand for an enterprise-wide Microsoft licensing arrangement spanning desktop Microsoft 365 applications and server software, together with related services. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate the ability to provision and manage licensing across a large, geographically dispersed fire and rescue organisation, covering both end-user productivity tools and the licences underpinning its network. Familiarity with the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services Framework, particularly its software lot and aggregated competition route, would be relevant. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so competitive pricing would matter alongside reliable fulfilment at organisational scale. Phoenix Software Ltd was selected for this requirement.
