What is being bought

Cantium Business Solutions Ltd, and its trading brands (Cantium), is a Local Authority Trading Company (LATCo) delivering ICT managed services that is ultimately owned by Kent County Council (KCC) and is part of the Commercial Services Group (CSG). Cantium, and its trading brands, provides ICT Managed Services to its customers across the UK within the Education, Local Authority, and the Private sector. As a LATCo, we are proud of our Public Sector heritage, which has given us a foundation in business delivery and infrastructure insight. This uniquely enables us to drive innovation and progressive practices to deliver the best value for our clients. Cantium supports its customers by offering advice and guidance on the use of Information Technology to maximise the business benefits of current systems and support the delivery of new products and services. Cantium is looking to partner as a reseller with an Authorised UK Microsoft CSP Indirect Provider to act as the licence provider for Microsoft products for resale to its customers. This Agreement shall commence on 3rd February 2026 and shall continue in force for up to 36 months unless terminated in accordance with the partner contractual conditions or extended in accordance with clause 2.6. The buyer has the right to request up to two x 12-month extensions to this contract, providing the supplier with a minimum notice of 30 days prior to the contract end date. Therefore, the maximum possible contract length will be 60 months. Any contractual offer made will be against a zero-value agreement as any sales will be based on best value for our customers. However, the total contract value over the 60 month period is estimated at circa £7 million inclusive of VAT. All bidders are to confirm alignment with the principles of Cantium’s Supply Chain Charter. Further background and technical information can be found within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation.
