UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council is exploring a management information system for its Adult Education and Community Learning services. The requirement is for a software and information systems solution to support the council’s delivery and administration of adult education and community learning activity. Work will be delivered for the council in North Lincolnshire, with the council based at Church Square House in Scunthorpe. This is a technology procurement focused on supplying and implementing a management information system rather than general education provision. Suppliers whose core business is developing, configuring or supporting management information systems and related software products should consider the requirement relevant, particularly where their solutions are designed for public-sector or learning-service environments. The procurement is currently at the preliminary market engagement stage.

The council has set out an intention to procure and is seeking preliminary market engagement before deciding the final procurement approach. The planned contract is for one lot, with an indicative contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The council expects clarification activity to end on 29 July 2026 and preliminary market engagement submissions to end on 3 August 2026 at 23:59. Responses are expected through the council’s online procurement portal. This is not an invitation to tender and suppliers are being asked to contribute to the council’s understanding of available solutions and the eventual requirement. The planned procedure, evaluation criteria and contract value have not yet been settled at this planning stage.

This engagement is most relevant to suppliers of management information systems, education software and information-management platforms that can support adult education and community learning services. It may suit software houses, system integrators and specialist implementation partners able to explain how their products could meet the council’s operational needs. Suppliers should be prepared to describe their system’s functionality, configuration options, implementation approach, support model and ability to work in a council environment. Experience with adult education, community learning or comparable learning-service administration would help a supplier make a useful contribution, although the published requirement does not set out specific accreditations, technical standards or staffing qualifications. Businesses can use the engagement to influence understanding of the market and prepare for a later procurement.
