Essentials Rejected not supported by Sage

Many of the sources rejected because not supported by Microsoft

After reviewing the available options from Insight UK, it appears that they currently do not offer a bundled package of Windows Server 2019 Standard (16-core) with 5 Client Access Licences (CALs). However, you can assemble a fully compliant and Microsoft-supported setup by purchasing the server licence and CALs separately.
