This system has been in place for over 10 years and extended beyond its originally approved term. While it provides valuable insights particularly around Microsoft licensing compliance the IT environment has evolved, with cloud services and SaaS assets becoming increasingly important. To remain compliant with public sector procurement rules and to ensure best practice in IT Asset Management (ITAM), a procurement exercise is required. The current Certero contract is due to end in July 2025, but a one-year extension has been approved (via DD) to allow sufficient time to identify and procure the most suitable solution. ## CPV classification Software package and information systems Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-060944-2026-01-19T17:10:29Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-060944-2026-01-19T17:10:29Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
