Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency bought digital learning and custom content development services for its e-learning programme. The requirement is a bank of days that the Omniplex studio team can use to develop e-learning content, falling within education and training services (CPV 80000000). Delivery is in the North West of England. The work supports the creation and adaptation of digital learning materials rather than the supply of general training courses or physical learning resources. The buyer is the Government Commercial Agency, with Crown Commercial Service acting on its behalf. The requirement was a re-contracting exercise with Omniplex Learning for banked specialist production time, indicating a need for an external digital learning content development capability aligned with the buyer’s existing e-learning workflow.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Omniplex Learning Group Limited on 17 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £93,750. The contract runs from 25 September 2026 to 24 September 2027. The tender closed on 1 September 2026. The buyer used a direct award through the RM6237 low value purchase system, described as an ‘Other’ procurement method, rather than an open competition. The recorded tender value was also £93,750. There was one requirement rather than separate lots. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The contract was awarded to a single supplier, with the procurement covering a defined bank of days for digital learning and custom content development during the stated contract period.

This award demonstrates demand from the Government Commercial Agency for specialist digital learning production, particularly flexible studio capacity to create e-learning and custom content. A credible future competitor would need an experienced e-learning development team able to work within an established digital learning workflow and convert requirements into finished online learning materials. Relevant capability is likely to include instructional design, learning content production, multimedia development, authoring-tool expertise, quality assurance and the ability to supply work in banked days rather than only as a single fixed deliverable. The incumbent is recorded as an SME, but the procurement states that participation was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so competitors should be prepared to demonstrate dependable specialist capacity and a delivery model suited to this buyer’s commercial route.
