Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured a learning management system for the Stronger Practice Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme. The system is intended to host training materials for a national rollout of the three former PDP3 modules, together with two new modules. The new content will support staff working on children’s early communication and language, and early maths, for children under two. This is an e-learning service (CPV 80420000), classified as a service procurement. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is therefore relevant to learning technology providers able to host and support nationally delivered professional development content for early-years or education workforces.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 April 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 25 June 2026. Titus Learning Ltd was selected as supplier for £218,126.40 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 25 June 2026 to 31 March 2028. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The evaluation basis is not described in the available award information. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately awarded lots.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand for a learning management system supporting a large-scale education and early-years training programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a robust platform for hosting structured CPD materials, supporting several existing and newly developed learning modules, and serving users across a national English rollout. Relevant capability includes dependable platform operation, content management, user access and administration, and support for organisations delivering training to staff working with very young children. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs and was conducted through a framework call-off, so suppliers with framework access or experience partnering with framework providers would be well placed. Experience in education, early-years learning or public-sector digital training would strengthen a comparable proposition.
