Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured a cloud-based learning management and capability management system, including the associated software and IT services. The solution is intended to help Orbit manage, evidence and report workforce competence across its employees, direct labour colleagues and external contractors. This is a workforce training and competence-management requirement, rather than a general-purpose software purchase. Delivery is specified for England. The buyer is Orbit Group Limited, based in Coventry. The system’s central purpose is to give Orbit a way to track competence across both its own workforce and people working for it as contractors, and to produce evidence and reports on that competence.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Rise To Ltd, trading as Learn Amp, on 23 July 2026. Orbit used a selective process, making a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The stated submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12:00. The awarded contract value is £330,993.95. The contract period runs from 7 December 2026 to 6 December 2030. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lot awards in the published outcome. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The contract award records the selected supplier and the award value; no separate evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

For suppliers competing when Orbit’s requirement returns to market, the evidence points to demand for a cloud-based system that brings learning management together with capability and competence management. A credible competitor would need to show how its platform can manage, evidence and report competence across employees, direct labour and external contractors, not just deliver training content. The buyer selected a supplier through a G-Cloud framework call-off, so experience supplying this kind of solution through a comparable framework route would be commercially relevant. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, and the successful supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement has been delivered by a smaller provider. No specific accreditation or technical capacity threshold is recorded.
