Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured an annual LinkedIn Learning licence for institutional use: LinkedIn Learning Partial Campus access for 12 months. The requirement supports the university’s higher education activities and is classified as higher education services (CPV 80300000), although the recorded procurement category is goods. Delivery is for Bath Spa University in the South West of England. The buyer is Bath Spa University, based at Newton Park in Bath. The requirement is a subscription renewal rather than physical equipment, construction or consultancy work. It is relevant to suppliers that provide LinkedIn Learning access or act as authorised resellers and can support an institutional university licence covering campus users.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Academia Limited on 8 July 2026. The awarded value is £39,306.12 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender submission deadline was 7 June 2026 at 12:00. Bath Spa University used a direct procurement route described as a single tender action below the applicable threshold. The award is active and covers one 12-month LinkedIn Learning Partial Campus licence renewal. Academia Limited is the sole recorded supplier. The published requirement was identified as unsuitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award is commercially relevant to established education technology providers, digital learning platforms and authorised licensing partners able to supply LinkedIn Learning Partial Campus access to a university. A credible competitor would need the right commercial relationship or authorisation to provide the LinkedIn Learning service, understand institutional higher education licensing, and manage a recurring annual subscription rather than a one-off software sale. The requirement indicates demand for campus-level learning content access at a substantial institutional scale, with a large supplier selected for delivery. Suppliers tracking Bath Spa University should be prepared to demonstrate reliable account administration, licence continuity, user-access management and experience serving higher education customers when this requirement returns to the market.
