Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic England procured e-learning training content and related e-learning services for its staff. The requirement is for a comprehensive range of online courses, supplied by one provider, to support 500 users with the facility to provide licences for up to 100 additional users. The service sits within the education and training sector, classified as CPV 80420000. The buying organisation is Historic England, headquartered in Swindon, Wiltshire. Delivery is intended to support Historic England staff across the United Kingdom and potentially users in wider locations. This is a managed digital learning requirement rather than a purchase of physical training materials or construction, consultancy or general information technology services.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. Historic England awarded the contract to LinkedIn on 4 August 2026. The awarded value is £108,381. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2029, covering the stated two-year requirement and a possible one-year extension. The tender submission deadline was 26 May 2026 at 9:30am. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The contract is for a single supplier. The procurement was categorised as a services contract. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available outcome records identify the successful supplier but do not set out an award scoring breakdown.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Historic England for organisation-wide digital learning content delivered through a single supplier. Competitors seeking similar work would need a broad, ready-to-use e-learning catalogue rather than a small collection of specialist courses, together with the platform, licensing and account management capability to support at least 500 users and accommodate further users when required. Credible providers would need to manage a central learning service for a public-sector workforce, maintain consistent access for dispersed staff and supply content at enterprise scale. The successful supplier was LinkedIn, indicating that an established digital learning platform with substantial catalogue breadth and scalable user administration can meet this buyer’s requirement when the service is next considered.
