Microsoft Shape the Future announcement
January 13, 2026 by Scottish Procurement No Comments | Category framework agreements, Procurement news, Scottish Procurement
We have renewed our agreement with Microsoft to be part of their Shape the Future education program. This is designed to provide education customers with a Windows platform which can support learning in primary and secondary schools.
The Shape the Future program allows qualifying K12 education organisations (which includes private primary and secondary schools in Scotland) to purchase devices with discounted Windows Pro licenses from Microsoft’s partners. Only purchases made for qualifying educational use are eligible.
This provision of the Shape the Future education programme scheme will be facilitated through the Mobile Client Device Framework with HP Inc UK Ltd.
