You asked for

I am currently embarking on a research project around Cyber Security and was hoping you could provide me with some contract information relating to following information:

You may have received the same request in the past and this information sent has now expired and I require an update as soon as possible for the following information. If nothing but the expiry date has changed, then please provide me with the new expiry date:

3. Microsoft Enterprise Agreement - is a volume licensing package offered by Microsoft.

The information I require is around the procurement side and we do not require any specifics (serial numbers, models, location) that could bring threat/harm to the organisation.
