Summary of the contracting process

The Oldham College has recently concluded the procurement process for an Immersive Environment educational software package, with the procurement process reaching its award stage as of 18th October 2024. This procurement, categorized under the goods sector, was managed through a direct award procedure due to the lack of competition for technical reasons, resulting in a contract awarded to Igloo Vision Ltd. The contract, valued at £486,568, will see the delivery of the educational software package to the region of Manchester (UKD3). The procurement method was limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the educational technology and software sectors, particularly those capable of delivering specialized, immersive learning environments. Companies that can demonstrate unique technical capabilities or proprietary solutions in this niche market stand to benefit from such contracted opportunities.
