Microsoft Licensing Renewal and Upgrade for Durham County Council

Durham County Council is seeking to renew and upgrade its Microsoft licensing packages across multiple products. The key requirement includes migrating from Microsoft Office 365 E3 to E5 licenses to enhance functionality and capabilities. This opportunity is being fulfilled through a direct award with the incumbent supplier using the NHS SBS DWS2 framework agreement, which streamlines procurement while ensuring value for money. Suppliers should note that this is a renewal of an existing contract, and the successful provider will need to manage the transition from current licenses to the upgraded E5 packages. The contract will be established under the NHS SBS DWS2 framework terms.
