Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Council procured a Learning Management System as a software-based learning and training service. The requirement covers provision of the system rather than general training delivery, and is classified as software packages and information systems. The service is delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, for a council based in Grimsby, England. This is a public-sector digital services requirement for suppliers able to provide and support a learning management platform. The procurement is categorised as services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier was Omniplex (Group) Limited, an SME specialising in learning technology, which indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused LMS or cloud-software provider rather than only by a large systems integrator.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 May 2026 to Omniplex (Group) Limited. The awarded value is £154,567, in pounds sterling. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2029. It was a selective call-off from the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud 14 framework, under Lot 2 for cloud software, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 12:00. The award was active when recorded. The published procurement information identifies one requirement and one successful supplier. The outcome shows that North East Lincolnshire Council selected a cloud-software supplier for a three-year Learning Management System contract through an established public-sector framework route.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear example of North East Lincolnshire Council’s demand for a cloud-based Learning Management System and its preferred route to market. A credible competitor would need a deployable learning platform, the ability to provide the associated software service to a public-sector organisation, and eligibility to compete through the relevant G-Cloud cloud-software framework route. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement was not limited to major technology companies. Businesses with an established LMS product, public-sector delivery capability and experience operating within UK government cloud procurement arrangements would be well placed to assess comparable future demand from this buyer. The requirement is specific to learning-management software, so general IT services alone would not demonstrate a close fit.
