Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police has concluded a procurement process titled "Digital Learning Platform for Recruit Training," which falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems. The procurement was a call-off from a framework agreement with a selective method, and the tender process is now at the award stage. The value of the contract is £82,820.32, with the contract period set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The location for this procurement is London, as indicated by the postal code SW1W 8RP. Key dates include the tender period end date on 26th March 2026 and the award publication date on 8th April 2026.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in digital learning solutions, particularly those capable of providing software packages and information systems. As the procurement was selective and based on a framework agreement, large-scale businesses with extensive experience in providing similar solutions could be well-positioned to compete if future opportunities arise. Although this specific opportunity is categorised as not suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, it can serve as a benchmark for similar future tenders. The awarding of the contract to Softcat PLC highlights the potential for significant commercial partnerships in digital training tools within public safety contexts.
