## Summary

The City of London Corporation procured Microsoft 365 Copilot education add-on services, associated with licence management software. The requirement is for an add-on to Microsoft 365 Copilot, rather than a broad IT support or software development contract. The buying organisation is the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London. The data identifies the buyer but does not state a delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The City of London Corporation made a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. Softcat Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 July 2027. Its stated value is £46,850.28 including VAT. The procurement was handled as a single lot. No award criteria or evaluation basis are described, consistent with the direct award route.

This award shows demand from the City of London for Microsoft 365 Copilot education add-on services, sourced through a direct award to a large IT supplier. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply or support the relevant Microsoft 365 Copilot education add-on and manage associated software licensing. The awarded supplier's selection establishes a market reference for the buyer, but the procurement does not set out particular technical standards, certifications, staffing requirements or experience thresholds. Suppliers should therefore assess their fit around the specific add-on and licensing capability, and their ability to serve a public authority, rather than infer wider IT service requirements from this purchase.
