Government Departments: Microsoft
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether Microsoft has recently raised its prices to Government for Office 365.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Crown Commercial Service (CCS) established a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) known as the Strategic Partnership Arrangement 2024 (SPA24) with Microsoft, which commenced on 1 November 2024. This arrangement provides enhanced value and discounted pricing for public sector organisations.
A reduction of approximately 6% in Microsoft 365 licence pricing took place in February 2025 as part of a wider price adjustment for Commercial Cloud Services.
