## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council is buying Microsoft Azure cloud consumption, Microsoft Fabric capacity and associated Microsoft Power Platform licences and services. The requirement supports the council’s cloud infrastructure, data warehousing, analytics, reporting, application development and business process automation. This is a technology services contract covering cloud platforms, data and analytics capacity, software licences, and related support. Delivery is in Northamptonshire. The council sought continuity for critical Microsoft technologies already used across the organisation, including licensing, support and service management. The requirement was awarded through the Y23065 Software Products and Associated Services framework, so it is relevant to suppliers able to provide or manage Microsoft cloud and platform services within that framework route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. It was awarded by direct award under the Y23065 framework, without a prior competition, using the buyer’s existing Microsoft licensing partner to maintain continuity of licensing, support and service management. The contract value is £300,000. It was signed on 14 October 2026. The stated contract term is two years. The evaluation criterion for the requirement was price. The procurement was structured as one lot, covering Azure consumption services, Fabric capacity, and Power Platform licences and services; that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, although the associated award and contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers hoping to compete when West Northamptonshire Council next buys this requirement, credibility will depend on the ability to deliver Microsoft Azure consumption services, Fabric capacity and Power Platform licences alongside practical support. The selected route indicates the value the council places on established framework access and continuity with its existing Microsoft licensing partner. A strong competitor would therefore need to demonstrate capability across cloud infrastructure, data warehousing and analytics, reporting, application development and business process automation, as well as dependable licensing and service management. This is a sizeable, joined-up technology requirement rather than a single software supply: suppliers need the capacity to support several connected Microsoft technologies across council operations. Price was the recorded award criterion, so competitive commercial terms also matter.
