Decision details
Procurement of a two year Microsoft Licencing Solution Partner contract
Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Technology and Change
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Procurement of a two year Microsoft Licencing
Solution Partner contract
Decision:
To direct award NYCC’s License Solution
Provider contract to Softcat Ltd. for a period of 2
years.
Reasons for the decision:
This is to re-align the LSP contract end date
with our Microsoft Enterprise Agreement which was itself extended
by two years as part of Microsoft E5 ramp offer.
Alternative options considered:
Discussion undertaken with procurement and the
Crown Commercial Services (providers of the frameworks) to see if
there were alternatives that would deliver better savings than
extending on the current terms and pricing on the current contract
with SoftCat of which we were advised that the current pricing
schedule was still more than favourable and re-running a full
re-procurement may result in higher pricing.
