Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured a learning management system for its Early Years Stronger Practice continuing professional development training. The system hosts training in early mathematics, early language, and personal, social and emotional development. The training is delivered by Early Years Learning Leads, so relevant suppliers include providers of education-focused online learning platforms that can support professional development content and access for early-years practitioners. The service is categorised as e-learning. Delivery is for the Department for Education in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns the platform used to host and support the training programme, rather than the provision of the training itself.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Department for Education used a limited procedure: a compliant call-off competition from a PCR2015 framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. Titus Learning Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 25 June 2026. The contract value is £218,126.40 including VAT. Five bids were recorded for the requirement. Evaluation placed 80% on quality and 20% on price. The procurement comprised one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. The contract period is not stated. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award provides a clear example of the Department for Education buying a specialist learning platform to support early-years professional development. A credible future competitor would need to show that its learning management system can host structured training across early mathematics, early language, and personal, social and emotional development, while supporting delivery by distributed learning leads. Quality was the dominant evaluation consideration, so evidence of reliable platform performance, accessible learner journeys, content management, reporting, and effective support would be important when this requirement returns. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that scale alone was not essential. Suppliers should also understand framework call-off competitions and be prepared to evidence service quality clearly alongside price.
