Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured a renewal of the Engageli online learning platform. The software provides a secure virtual classroom for on-site, online and blended teaching, supporting collaborative learning in large-scale classrooms. It is intended to support the university’s Curriculum Transformation Project and teaching and learning principles of active, applied, social and inclusive learning. The platform must integrate seamlessly with Aula and the wider education technology environment. This is a software and information systems requirement, delivered for use in the United Kingdom by Coventry University. The opportunity is relevant to software publishers and education technology providers offering virtual learning environments, classroom collaboration tools and integration with existing institutional platforms.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was completed. Engageli, Inc. was selected on 25 June 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The active contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. Evaluation was therefore based on a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The award covers software package and information systems for the Engageli software renewal. Coventry University is the buying organisation, and Engageli, Inc. is the appointed supplier.

This procurement demonstrates established demand at Coventry University for a secure, enterprise-scale virtual classroom supporting blended learning and collaboration. Suppliers competing for comparable education technology requirements would need a mature online learning platform that works for both campus-based and remote learners, including large cohorts. Credible providers should be able to support active, applied, social and inclusive teaching, maintain a secure virtual classroom environment, and integrate reliably with Aula and the university’s wider education technology ecosystem. Experience of supporting curriculum transformation and defined teaching and learning activities would strengthen a supplier’s position. The direct-award route and existing supplier relationship also show the importance of product continuity, proven performance and integration capability for this buyer.
