Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NCG has procured a learner management information system, an education software service for managing learner information. The requirement is associated with NCG’s address in Newcastle upon Tyne. The system is classified as educational software, and the procurement is categorised as a service. The available description identifies the system but does not set out its features, implementation work, user numbers or integration requirements, so the stated scope is limited to supplying the learner management information system. NCG is the buying organisation. The contract was awarded to Education Software Solutions Ltd, a large supplier. The procurement was made through the Procurement Services Y25012 Education Management Systems Framework, indicating a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Education Software Solutions Ltd on 31 July 2026. The award value is £740,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions; the stated absolute expiry date is 31 August 2030. NCG used a direct award under the Procurement Services Y25012 Education Management Systems Framework. The procurement is categorised as selective and described as a framework call-off. It was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed selection requirements, and no lots are described.

This award demonstrates demand from NCG for a learner management information system, with a substantial, multi-year contract and potential continuation through extension options. A supplier competing for a comparable future requirement would need to provide education software capable of supporting learner information management and to demonstrate that it can deliver the system for NCG. Experience supplying education management systems would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The selected route was a direct award from an education management systems framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to participate through an applicable framework rather than relying solely on open tender opportunities. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating these organisation types could be considered for this kind of requirement.
