Summary of the contracting process

The Intellectual Property Office bought an enterprise technology skills support platform, described as the “Everything Plan” under the title Plural Sight. The requirement is a training software package (CPV 48931000) intended to support technology skills. Delivery is associated with the Intellectual Property Office site in Newport, United Kingdom. This is a software and digital learning opportunity rather than physical training provision, construction or general IT services. Businesses supplying enterprise learning platforms, technology training software or related skills-support systems would be the closest fit. The requirement is for the buyer’s organisational use and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is a software services business, indicating a commercial technology provider was used to fulfil the requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Bytes Software Services Ltd on 15 June 2026 for £63,588. The contract period runs from 19 June 2026 to 18 June 2027. The awarded amount is the value for this single requirement; it is not combined with any other lot or award. The published requirement has no separate lots, and the available procurement information describes the purchase as an enterprise plan for a technology skills support platform. The award is active, with the Intellectual Property Office as buyer.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from the Intellectual Property Office for enterprise technology skills support delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need an established enterprise learning or training-software platform, the ability to support organisational technology skills development, and a service model suited to a public-sector buyer. Experience supplying software services at enterprise scale would strengthen a future proposition, particularly where the provider can package platform access, skills content and ongoing support as one managed offer. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable for the requirement, so scale alone is not essential; relevant product capability, dependable implementation and experience working through framework purchasing would be important.
