The Eduserv Microsoft Select Agreement allows sites to take advantage of the Microsoft Academic Select Agreement without the need to commit to purchasing volumes of licences. In addition sites benefit from the tender exercise undertaken with Microsoft resellers, offering a range of discounts and value added services.

As well as purchasing perpetual licences under Select the scheme allows sites who wish to, to take advantage of the Software Assurance benefits available to your institution.

Eduserv has pre-tendered the resellers for this agreement to ensure transparency of pricing and to allow all members of the Community to enjoy the benefits of aggregated purchasing. The resellers under the agreement and details of their pricing and value added services can be found at the Microsoft Select Resellers page.

All sites participating in the Eduserv Microsoft Master Campus Agreement can take part in the Select scheme free of charge - you just need to approach your normal reseller - if you were enrolled under the old Select Agreement then your enrollment will automatically have been extended until October 2013.

If you wish to use this agreement but not the Chest Campus Agreement please contact howard.moody@eduserv.org.uk.

Eduserv has undertaken a tender exercise for resellers under our Microsoft Select Agreement – of those that responded we have awarded the contract to those listed below.

Detailed below are the suppliers, their pricing model and the value added services included in that price. Clicking on the supplier name will allow you to download their current detailed Microsoft Select Price List. “Cost” referred to in the pricing model column is the price invoiced to the reseller by Microsoft excluding all rebates and the discounts are from SRP (cost is equivalent to about 20.6% discount).

Should you wish to change your chosen reseller for any reason during the agreement, the paperwork can be obtained from the reseller you wish to change to. Microsoft's processing of this will take up to 30 days.
