UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Bolsover District Council, identified by the contract reference "BDC/008/2025", involved the appointment of a supplier for an online learning and development platform aimed at training employees and members. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically staff training services, marked by CPV code 80511000. The contract, under a limited procurement method, signifies below-threshold limited competition. It was awarded on 25th July 2025 to Skillgate Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise. The procurement is located in the region UKF12, United Kingdom, and the contractual period spans from 14th April 2025 to 13th April 2026, with possible extensions up to April 2029. The procurement stage is noted as complete, with the contract being active and valued at £6,000 GBP gross. Key dates include the contract signing on 13th April 2025, aligning with obligations based on legal regulations set by UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses involved in digital learning solutions, particularly those with a focus on providing services to public authorities or sub-central government entities like district councils. SMEs, such as those specialising in flexible and adaptive learning platforms, are well-suited to compete in such procurements due to the nature of the limited competition environment and the emphasis on innovative learning methodologies. Engaging in such contracts not only expands a firm's portfolio within the public sector but also solidifies relationships with governmental bodies, offering potential for future collaborations and contract renewals, as indicated by the option for three 12-month extensions.
