Department retains IT reseller Softcat as provider of core software systems
The Department for Work and Pensions has more than doubled the value of its licensing arrangement for core Microsoft products with the award a new five-year deal worth £250m.
Recently published commercial documents reveal that, at the start of this month, the DWP entered into a contract with IT reseller Softcat. The deal represents a new Microsoft enterprise agreement, and covers the provision of a range of the vendor’s products and services.
The procurement notice said: “[This] contract [will] provide a licensing subscription service for Microsoft – or equivalent – products and incorporates a number of key product suites utilised by DWP, which includes O365, Windows and Server products… and software and telephony services.”
The new five-year arrangement replaces a three-year engagement – also fulfilled by Softcat – which ran from 2020 until March 2023. That deal was valued at £70.8m.
This means the department’s annual spend on Microsoft products has more than doubled – from £23.6m to £50m.
The DWP indicated that the contract provided continuity for existing critical IT systems, while also offering the opportunity to derive greater value via the additional functionality provided for by the deal.
The text of the contract reveals that “opportunities to add value and optimise [the] licence estate” was a significant consideration in the procurement process, with an importance weighting of 10%. Softcat will be expected to support the DWP’s “asset management function, including upskilling and knowledge transfer, as well delivering “utilisation reporting and recommendations regarding optimisation, [and] periodic reviews on ways or working to ensure ongoing maximum value delivery”.
Also assigned 10% weighting in the award process was “contract mobilisation services”, including the provision of “transition and support on licensing requirement” in preparing for the implementation of the agreement.
A weighting of 5% was attached to “contract exit services” and, at both the start and conclusion of the deal, Softcat will be expected to provide a “clear and concise timescale of the activities to be completed” by the department and the IT firm.
Account management considerations were also assigned 5% weighting. This element covers “team structure, capabilities, and qualifications including mandatory vendor specific accreditations”, as well proposals for how the provider will “manage the tri-party relationship” between Microsoft , Softcat, and the DWP.
As is now mandatory for public procurement exercises, the demonstration of social value was weighted at 10% in the bidding process; the contract indicates that this incorporated efforts on the part of the supplier to tackle economic inequality and climate change, as well as promoting equal opportunity.

Hi my friend! I want to say that this article is awesome, nice written and include almost all significant infos. I would like to see more posts like this.
I have realized that in old digital cameras, extraordinary receptors help to maintain focus automatically. Those kind of sensors connected with some digital cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others employ a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lighting. Higher spec cameras from time to time use a mixture of both programs and might have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ the face while keeping your focus only on that. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this weblog.
I am not positive where you are getting your info, but great topic. I needs to spend a while finding out more or figuring out more. Thanks for fantastic info I used to be in search of this information for my mission.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I抣l try to get the hang of it!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

I have mastered some new things from your site about pcs. Another thing I’ve always imagined is that computer systems have become a specific thing that each residence must have for many reasons. They supply you with convenient ways in which to organize homes, pay bills, go shopping, study, tune in to music and perhaps watch tv programs. An innovative way to complete most of these tasks is by using a mobile computer. These pcs are mobile, small, effective and lightweight.

Thanks for the new stuff you have discovered in your post. One thing I want to touch upon is that FSBO relationships are built with time. By introducing yourself to the owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO is definitely announced, prior to masses get started calling on Wednesday, you generate a good interconnection. By giving them instruments, educational components, free reports, and forms, you become a strong ally. If you take a personal affinity for them and also their situation, you generate a solid network that, many times, pays off once the owners decide to go with a real estate agent they know and also trust — preferably you.
