They do not even pay Microsoft directly. They pay Fujitsu Belgium, which is IIRC owned by Fujitsu UK which had been an independent IT consulting company some 20+ years ago and retained a lot of independence from Japanese overlords.

Yes, the same Fujitsu implicated in the UK Post Office scandal gets EU money for Microsoft licenses.

It's an open secret in EU IT consulting circles but nonetheless hilarious.
