Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service, operating on behalf of the Cabinet Office, has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of LinkedIn Learning" service, aimed at renewing LinkedIn Learning accounts enterprise-wide. The procurement, valued at £156,400, falls under the "License management software package" category and covers delivery to various regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, and London, among others. This was a call-off from a framework agreement under a selective procurement method, with the award notice published on 8th January 2026. The contract period started on 3rd December 2025 and will end on 2nd December 2027.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software licensing and providing digital learning solutions to large organisations. While the contract has been awarded to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, firms that offer innovative and cost-effective solutions for large-scale license management could explore future similar opportunities with Crown Commercial Service. Although this tender did not prioritise SMEs, larger companies with the capability to manage enterprise-wide digital learning accounts would have found this procurement particularly beneficial. Similar tenders in the future could allow businesses to expand their services across multiple UK regions.
