Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a learning management system (LMS) from Totara Learning (Europe) Limited. The service combines learning management with tools to track, manage and report on medical device competencies and clinical skills. It is intended to support flexible learning pathways and provide simple, audit-ready dashboards for the Trust’s training and competency requirements. The procurement is for services, classified under training services. The supplier is a UK small and medium-sized enterprise based in Brighton, while the buying organisation is based in Cambridge. The requirement covers the Trust’s operational learning and clinical competency management rather than standalone training delivery, with software functionality supporting monitoring, reporting and compliance across relevant staff and learning activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Totara Learning (Europe) Limited on 11 May 2026. It used a direct award procedure because the buyer stated that Totara was the only supplier able to provide all existing requirements. The single lot was completed. The award and signed contract value is £193,073 excluding VAT, or £231,687 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was based on the supplier’s ability to meet the existing requirements, with the procurement rationale citing single-supplier technical reasons. The contract is above the applicable threshold.

This procurement indicates demand for an enterprise learning and competency platform within an NHS hospital environment. A credible future competitor would need to provide an LMS that integrates medical device and clinical skills competency tracking, management and reporting, rather than a basic course-hosting system. The service would need to support varied learning pathways and produce clear, audit-ready dashboards for clinical governance and compliance activity. Experience of implementing or supporting systems used by healthcare organisations would help demonstrate understanding of regulated training and competency records. Suppliers should also be able to provide dependable software services and a standard help desk, since the contract refers to help desk performance measures. The incumbent’s stated fit across all existing requirements sets a demanding benchmark for functional coverage and integration.
