    Brief

    This is a direct award contract for Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) licenses and subscription services. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of Microsoft products and services including: academic alternative licenses (A5) for eligible users, network connectivity between on-premises data centers and Microsoft Azure, Teams Telephony and call center integration, Azure security services including Azure Firewall, enterprise antivirus solutions for all servers, and a Microsoft Fabric instance for Power BI analytics. This direct award approach is being used because Microsoft maintains proprietary licensing terms with limited flexibility across authorized partners, making competitive tendering unlikely to deliver better value or service terms. The contract ensures continuity of essential cloud and productivity services while maintaining existing support arrangements and mitigating operational risk. This procurement is being carried out on behalf of both Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and Darlington Borough Council.
