Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract for an online learning software platform, titled "UKSBS DDaT22439 - Library- Online learning platform," as part of a competitive procedure from the G-Cloud 12 Framework Agreement (RM1557.12). The contracting process was managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. The contract, valued at £49,637.42, started on 9 October 2022 and was initially set to end on 8 October 2023, but has since been extended until 8 October 2025. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from the framework agreement, and the procurement was specifically aimed at suppliers of software package and information systems within the CPV classification code 48000000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in software solutions, especially those providing online learning platforms. Organisations that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this contract particularly attractive as it demonstrates a substantial commitment to digital learning resources by a major public body. Suppliers like O'Reilly Media Inc., which was awarded the contract, exemplify the type of business well-suited for such procurement processes. As the buyer prioritises competitive products through framework agreements, companies looking to expand their footprint in the public sector could benefit by engaging in similar tender opportunities.
