Summary of the contracting process

Historic England commissioned e-learning training content and courses for its staff from a single supplier. The requirement covers a comprehensive range of online learning courses for 500 users, with provision for up to 100 additional user licences if required. The service category is e-learning services. Historic England is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, and the requirement relates to training provision for its staff rather than physical works or supplies. The procurement covers the full learning-content service, including access for the specified user base. It is therefore relevant to providers of broad workplace e-learning libraries, digital training platforms and associated online learning content capable of supporting an organisational workforce through one supplier arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company was selected for the single lot. The award was active and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2028, with a maximum one-year extension. Its awarded value is £108,381 excluding VAT, or £130,057.20 including VAT. The contract also allows Historic England to increase the provision by up to 100 licences as required. Evaluation placed 35% weighting on price and 65% on quality. The original tender stated a two-year term with a possible one-year extension, and the lot used a single-supplier arrangement.

This award demonstrates demand from Historic England for a substantial, organisation-wide e-learning service rather than a small bespoke training commission. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would offer a comprehensive and varied catalogue of workplace learning courses, reliable online delivery and the operational capacity to support at least 500 users through a single service. The ability to add licences without replacing the core provision would also be commercially relevant, as would scalable user administration and consistent access for a public-sector workforce. The evaluation balance shows that quality was more important than price, so credible competitors would need to evidence course breadth, content quality, usability, service reliability and the practical strength of their delivery model, alongside competitive pricing.
