Learning Management System with Integrated Events Booking
Notice Description
Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking to procure a Learning Management System (LMS) with integrated event booking functionality to replace separate legacy systems currently used across the organisation. This initiative is driven by the need to modernise our learning infrastructure, streamline operations, and improve the user experience for internal staff, external professionals, and members of the public. The Council wishes to introduce an LMS that supports a wide range of learning formats, including eLearning, digital classrooms, and in-person training. It should offer robust reporting capabilities to meet governance requirements and provide evidence to support inspection frameworks including Ofsted and CQC. Additionally, the system must accommodate a diverse user base, including approximately 4,800 employees, 8,000 external professionals, and over 10,000 citizens and residents, with flexible licensing and payment processing options.
