Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "E-Learning Software" contract was conducted by Torridge District Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bideford, United Kingdom. The process falls under the category of software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000) and follows a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold status. The contract has been awarded and is currently in the 'award' stage. Key dates include a date signed on 27th July 2026, with the contract period running from 20th September 2026 to 19th September 2028. The main procurement category is goods, focusing on software and its maintenance, operating in the UKK4 region.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in e-learning software and maintenance to engage in public sector contracts. Companies with capabilities in software packages and information systems, especially those that can operate efficiently under limited competition, would be well-suited for such opportunities. As the awarded supplier, Learning Pool Limited, a large-scale enterprise based in Derry, has set a precedent; businesses of similar scale or proficiency in providing robust software solutions to the public sector can leverage such opportunities for growth and expansion into governmental contracting.
