The Spencer Academies Trust wants a supplier to manage its Microsoft software licences for its schools. The work covers Microsoft 365 A3 and A5 licences, including buying, renewing, tracking, billing and reporting on them, plus advice on licensing. Suppliers must price four options: A3 or A5, each on a 3-year or 5-year term, and only one will be awarded.
What the buyer wants
• Manage and administer the Trust's Microsoft 365 A3 or A5 licences, including subscriptions and renewals, throughout the contract term • Provide licensing compliance support, billing and reporting, plus licensing advice • Price all four options (A3 3-year, A3 5-year, A5 3-year, A5 5-year) so the Trust can choose the best value
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The notice gives no specific accreditation or experience thresholds, but a business without Microsoft licensing reseller capability and a track record of managing licences across a multi-site organisation would find it hard to show it is suitably qualified.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
