They're working on it, they've recently stopped allowing the Australian government to be treated a single customer. [1]
While each agency still gets the same whole of government pricing for the next five years, I worry the next step is to make each agency negotiate their own individual licences, which squeezes the smaller ones with no bargaining power.

More incentives to move off MS products. MS sales and marketing are just geniuses! I hope one day they will eat the consequences.
We've been waiting 40 years for that "one day". I wouldn't bet on it. :(
This doesn't happen without a lot of hard work. Want to help? See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2014/07/how-i-got-the-uk-government... for inspiration.
