Agreement Details

The Chest Microsoft Master EES Agreement opens up the preferential pricing that may be obtained by sites with over 3,000 FTE Staff under EES to all sites regardless of FTE count. This represents a saving of around 7% for Desktop Campus, Office, Core CAL, Enterprise CAL and Windows Upgrade licences for sites with more 1,000 FTE and around 17% for Institution with less than 1,000 FTE Staff.

Chest has contracted with the resellers for this agreement under the National Framework for Software Resellers to allow all 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 on the Resellers tab.

Your responsibilities under this agreement are otherwise unchanged from signing an agreement directly with Microsoft. You are not jointly responsible for the actions of any other participant site.
