Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured an e-learning suite and online learning management system for mandatory induction and continuing annual statutory training. The service covers health and safety, General Data Protection Regulation compliance, cyber security, human resources, wellbeing, financial safeguarding, and equity, diversity and inclusion. This is a technology-enabled learning and training services requirement, including human resources software and e-learning services. Delivery is associated with Leeds and extends across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is West Yorkshire Combined Authority, based at Wellington House, Leeds. The requirement is classified as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a restricted procedure, using the selective procurement method. Bids closed on 30 August 2026. The estimated value was between £105,960 and £149,160. The contract was awarded to iHasco on 15 September 2026 for £149,160. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2030. iHasco is the sole named supplier and the award is active. The procurement was evaluated as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The published information identifies the contract as a four-year arrangement for the e-learning and learning management system service. The outcome shows the buyer selected a supplier for delivery of the full mandatory and statutory training requirement.

This procurement indicates sustained demand from the buyer for a centrally managed compliance-learning platform rather than isolated training courses. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would combine a robust learning management system with a broad catalogue of current, configurable online courses covering workplace safety, data protection, cyber security, HR, wellbeing, financial safeguarding and equality, diversity and inclusion. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate reliable administration of induction and recurring annual training, learner access across multiple locations, reporting for organisational oversight, and the capacity to support a wide geographic user base. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist platform provider, e-learning content business or capable partnership could be relevant. Evidence of dependable service delivery and content maintenance would strengthen a competing proposition.
