## Summary

Newcastle City Council is seeking a single supplier to replace and renew its Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions licensing agreement for schools. The requirement is for Microsoft enterprise software licensing, rather than a general IT consultancy or software development service. The agreement covers the Council’s schools and is intended to continue their access to Microsoft products under a replacement arrangement. Delivery is in Newcastle upon Tyne. The Council is the buyer, and the procurement is a further competition through a Crown Commercial Service framework. A supplier would need to provide the licensing agreement and manage the arrangement as the sole awarded vendor.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure, run as a further competition under framework RM6068, Lot 3. The stated tender submission deadline was 19 November 2026 at 12:00 noon UTC. Offers could be submitted electronically or in writing, in English. The contract period is 360 days, with no renewal or additional purchase options indicated. The requirement is grouped as one lot and is intended to be awarded to a single vendor. The published information gives no estimated contract value or evaluation weighting. The process has reached tender; the available contracting information does not record a cancellation or withdrawal.

This opportunity is suited to an authorised Microsoft licensing provider or reseller with the commercial and operational capacity to supply education-sector Microsoft enterprise licences to schools in Newcastle upon Tyne. Suppliers should be able to take over or replace an existing Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions agreement and support a single-vendor arrangement for the Council. Experience managing education licensing, coordinating licence coverage across multiple schools, and handling renewals would be relevant to delivering the stated requirement. The procurement is a further competition under an existing framework, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework lot. No specific technical certifications, staffing qualifications or minimum experience thresholds are stated in the contracting information.
