Microsoft and the Crown Commercial Service, on behalf of the UK Government, have entered into a five-year agreement to enhance digital transformation in the public sector.
The agreement will enable eligible public sector organisations to access cost savings on Microsoft 365, the Azure cloud platform, Business Applications and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
The partnership aims to increase the speed of innovations across the UK public sector, enhance efficiency, improve cross-departmental collaboration and deliver improved services for UK citizens.
“AI technologies present a unique opportunity to transform public services and fuel the UK’s economic growth,” said Clare Barclay, CEO of Microsoft UK. “This exciting new five-year partnership will mean Microsoft can continue to support the UK Government to create a world-class, digital-first public sector infrastructure, that will improve service delivery for citizens across the whole of the UK and create opportunities for all.”
