Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process, facilitated by HM Revenue & Customs, involved the procurement of a Learning Management System (LMS) and related software for operational and corporate training and development. This contract was awarded on 30th May 2025, following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was classified under industry-specific software packages, with an additional classification for networking and internet software packages. The service is to be delivered in London and has a contract period starting from 15th June 2025 to 14th June 2026. The awarded value of the contract was £46,963.64. The LMS will support the organisation in delivering, tracking, and managing both online and offline training programmes efficiently.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software and eLearning solutions, particularly those capable of providing tailored learning management systems with capabilities like Adapt Builder for creating bespoke eLearning modules. While the opportunity may be more suited to larger enterprises due to the contract size and complexity, SMEs were also considered suitable competitors, although the suitability for VCSEs was not noted. The contract was awarded to Learning Pool Ltd, a large-scale supplier, highlighting the potential for well-established businesses in the industry to secure significant public contracts with government bodies such as HM Revenue & Customs.
