Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED procured a competency management training system, including its provision and support. The requirement is for training software and related services, rather than training delivery alone. The system is intended to support competency management, although the procurement description does not set out specific functions or user groups. The work is associated with Hull, and delivery is identified as being in Yorkshire and the Humber. The buying organisation is BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to LearnPro Group. The award date was 30 September 2025, and the recorded award value is £348,205.26. The contract began on 1 October 2025; the original period ran to 30 September 2026. The buyer has exercised the first of two optional 12-month extensions, moving the expiry date to 30 September 2027. The procurement was awarded through CCS G-Cloud 14. The recorded procurement method is not disclosed. The published information does not describe specific evaluation criteria or participation requirements. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers tracking demand for competency management software, this award demonstrates a requirement for a supported training system associated with a buyer in Hull. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide the system as well as ongoing support, and show that its software can serve competency management needs. The buyer used CCS G-Cloud 14 for this purchase, so suppliers would need to be positioned to sell through that route to compete on comparable work. The recorded suitability assessment indicates that this requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
