UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torridge District Council procured e-learning software and ongoing maintenance for its organisational learning needs. The requirement is primarily a software package and information system, covering the supply of the e-learning platform and the associated maintenance service. The buying organisation is Torridge District Council, based at Riverbank House in Bideford. The contract relates to delivery in the council’s area in the United Kingdom. This is a technology and managed-support requirement rather than a construction, consultancy or general training contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be software providers or specialist learning-technology suppliers able to provide an operational e-learning system together with continuing maintenance and support. The requirement was structured as one lot, covering the combined software and maintenance service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Torridge District Council selected LEARNING POOL LIMITED for the single lot. The award was made on 27 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The active contract runs from 20 September 2026 to 19 September 2028. Its value is £35,800 excluding VAT, or £42,960 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, with competition restricted to invited suppliers. The award covers the e-learning software and maintenance requirement as a single package. The contract is recorded as active, and the award is also recorded as active. No separate awards or lots are identified.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Torridge District Council, this procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for e-learning software combined with maintenance over a multi-year service period. A credible competitor would need to supply a dependable learning-management or e-learning platform, support its implementation and operation, and provide responsive maintenance throughout the contract. The buying route is also relevant: this requirement was handled through a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit quickly when invited. Experience supporting public-sector or similarly structured organisations, reliable service management, software support capability and the capacity to maintain the platform over the full service term would strengthen credibility. The opportunity is best suited to established learning-technology providers rather than suppliers offering standalone training content or generic IT support.
