That a maximum spend of £2.332m be
authorised on the final year of our current, extended Microsoft Enterprise
Subscription Agreement and associated licensing spends through our compliantly
contracted LSP, Boxxe.
Reason for the decision
To continue to be able to access
critical operational licensing, after the 1 May2026 renewal date, authority was required to spend on the
additional year of the current Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, ahead of a
formal re-procurement for 1 May
2027.
