Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured a learning management system renewal, classified as software and information systems. The system is intended to support course creation and online learning for council and schools staff, as well as adult learners supported by Learning Skills and Workforce Development. The work serves users across the Yorkshire and the Humber area, with the council as the buying organisation. This is a goods procurement centred on the provision and renewal of a digital learning platform rather than standalone training delivery. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are learning technology providers able to support organisational learning, educational users and online course delivery at council-wide and school-related scale.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 to The Skills Network for £150,000. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. It used a direct procurement route described as a single tender action below the applicable threshold, rather than an open competition. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through this direct award approach, with the selected supplier providing the renewed learning management system. The council’s published suitability assessment did not reserve the opportunity for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the full four-year renewal period.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible competitors would need a mature learning management system that enables straightforward course creation and reliable online learning for varied user groups. The platform would need to serve council and schools staff alongside adult learners, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate effective administration across organisational, education and workforce-development settings. Relevant capability includes configurable learning content, user and course management, dependable access for distributed users, and support for ongoing platform operation rather than a one-off technology supply. The award indicates that an established, large-scale learning technology provider was accepted for this requirement; smaller suppliers would need strong evidence of capacity, implementation support and comparable public-sector or education experience.
