Decision:
The Microsoft Enterprise Agreement is routine
procurement under contract rules and provides licenses for the
organisation to access M365 Office products, Server licenses as
well as other miscellaneous products such as Visio and Project. The
cost of the licenses is £586k per annum + £102k per
annum. This has been awarded via the CCS Framework under
SPA24.
This agreement needed to be completed at pace to prevent late
submission of an order, which would subject CYC to a 3% reduction
on the SPA24 cost.
By using SPA24 and submitting by this Framework in time for the
renewal, we are eligible for substantial discounts from the
Microsoft list prices.
Contract awarded to Phoenix Software.
