The licences will be used for educational purposes only and the supplier will be expected to provide licences and access to the application via a software volume licence.

The agreement will cover: desktop operating system licences and upgrades, including support assurance; a server operating system licence; enterprise server operating systems; office licences (Standard and Professional and components of Office/Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Publisher/Access) and SQL Server licences, among many others. Further information is available on the Ted web site.

North Yorkshire County Council says it is looking for the most "economically advantageous" tender, placing 80 per cent of the weighting of the eventual supplier on price and 20 per cent on quality.
