Tender description
The Council wish to procure a Cisco Enterprise Agreement as a flexible 5-year program that will consolidate the council’s software licenses, subscriptions, and services across the Councils entire infrastructure into one contract. The aim over cost saving is to simplify the management of our estate of Cisco licences with co-terminated licenses, provides predictable pricing, and allows for growth. The Key features and benefits the council expect from a Cisco EA include: • Simplified Management: Combines multiple licences, renewals, and support contracts into a single agreement with one, unified, co-terminated date. • Flexibility & Growth: Includes "True Forward" terms, allowing organisations to deploy software and add users or licences immediately midterm, with payments adjusted only annually. Equally licences can be moved from one device to another. • Cost Control: Provides predictable, fixed pricing on better EA discount rates compared to buying individual licences and built in growth allowances • Visibility: Offers a centralised dashboard for licence management and to track and manage software usage.

About the buyer
Leicester City Council buys as a local authority, advertising most opportunities through East Midlands Tenders, its regional supplier portal. Larger contracts appear on Find a Tender instead, where any supplier awarded a contract must also register from April 2026. Some contracts run through outside frameworks, including ESPO and the Government Commercial Agency. Suppliers apply to those bodies directly to become approved framework suppliers. A two-year procurement plan for 2026 to 2028 is published on the council's open data site. Supplier selection also weighs social value, such as local job creation and environmental impact, alongside price.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Leicester City Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and software and information systems.
