Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College has announced a public procurement process involving the extension of its contract with People Fluent t/a Open LMS for the provision of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)/Moodle services. This process focuses on the goods category, specifically software packages and information systems. The procurement is set within the UKD72 region, primarily in Liverpool, making it a significant opportunity for local businesses interested in the educational sector. The contract extension is active, covering the period from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027, with the contract valued at £133,292. The procurement method used is limited, meaning it was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender provides lucrative growth opportunities for SMEs in the software and information systems industry. Companies with expertise in educational technology, particularly those offering VLE platforms, would be highly competitive in this milieu. Given the nature of the service required and the extension of an existing contract with no competition phase, businesses already offering related solutions would have an edge. However, new businesses might still benefit from this opportunity by positioning themselves as potential partners or subcontractors capable of enhancing or complementing existing services.
