**What it does not test.** This does not establish that any alternative supplier was chosen, or that the existing EUR 350 million Microsoft framework will not simply continue.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. Tender cancelled but no alt supplier chosen; existing MS framework may just continue.. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
