Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured an off-the-shelf e-learning solution to support system training across its JACS Programme for Children’s Social Care. This is a software and IT service focused on providing an established learning platform for training users of the programme’s systems, rather than a bespoke software development project. The work is for Devon County Council, based in Exeter, and delivery is identified as being in South West England. The requirement concerns digital learning provision for children’s social care system training; the procurement does not describe additional work beyond this purpose.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Me Learning Ltd. The award was made on 26 September 2026, for £145,000. The award period runs from 27 September 2026 to 26 September 2028; the tender’s stated contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 August 2026 at 12:00. The estimated tender value was also £145,000. The record identifies the procedure only as “Other” and does not state an evaluation basis. The requirement was treated as a services contract. It was not divided into lots, and the stated suitability flags indicate that it was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Devon County Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for an off-the-shelf e-learning solution supporting system training in children’s social care. A credible competitor would need to supply an established learning platform and show that it can support training for the JACS Programme’s systems. Me Learning Ltd, identified as an SME, won the award, demonstrating that a smaller supplier was selected despite the tender’s SME suitability flag being negative. The requirement was delivered as a services contract, so suppliers should be prepared to provide the solution as an ongoing service rather than solely as a software product. Relevant experience would include deploying and supporting e-learning for system users in a children’s social care programme; the published scope does not identify further technical or accreditation requirements.
