UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board procured managed services for its Totara learning management system (LMS). The requirement covers renewing software licences so that the existing system can be novated, together with the associated managed-services provision. This is a software and information-systems requirement rather than construction or training delivery. The buyer is a public authority based in Peterborough, and the awarded requirement is for activity in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns one requirement covering the LMS service and licence renewal. It is relevant to suppliers providing Totara LMS licensing, system management and support, particularly those able to maintain continuity during a novation of the system.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. It was awarded directly, below the applicable threshold and without competition. Guilds Kineo Limited (Mindtools Kineo) was selected on 29 July 2026 for the complete requirement. The award is valued at £29,689 excluding VAT, or £35,626.80 including VAT. The awarded period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The procurement used one lot, and the recorded basis was direct award rather than a competitive evaluation. The award record identifies the requirement as goods, classified under software packages and information systems. A signature milestone was scheduled for 29 July 2026.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for Totara LMS managed services and licence continuity within the Construction Industry Training Board. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have direct experience managing Totara or comparable learning-management platforms, handling licence renewals and supporting a controlled novation of an existing system. Credibility would depend on demonstrating reliable ongoing service management, software and information-systems expertise, and the capacity to preserve operational continuity through a system or supplier transition. The selected provider was a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with substantial delivery capacity for this requirement. Competitors should therefore be prepared to evidence relevant platform capability, transition experience and dependable managed support for a public-sector customer.
