Summary of the contracting process

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council has initiated a tender process for the extension of the Workforce Development Evolve Software Licences, Support and Maintenance. This contract, valued between £180,000 and £210,000, falls under the 'Adult and other education services' industry category and is primarily focused on supporting the existing Learning Management System (LMS) introduced in 2016. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a closing date set for 13 December 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2019 and run until 31 March 2022, with services required to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for companies specialising in software licensing and maintenance services, particularly those experienced in learning management systems. As Comenius Talent Management is the sole provider due to intellectual property rights, competition may be limited; however, businesses with expertise in software support for educational tools may find collaboration opportunities. This contract underscores the value of robust maintenance and support services within the education sector, which could lead to further growth and service expansion for relevant service providers.
