Microsoft Office software

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I request under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 the following
and would be grateful for any response.

The sum in total, if any, spent on licences for or purchase of
Microsoft Office software during each of the last two available either
financial or calendar years.

Please note the figures I am interested in are specifically for Microsoft Office licences and software, not other Microsoft software.

What amount of this was for software used in schools?

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Matt Townsend
