Summary of the contracting process

Bromford Flagship LiveWest Limited is procuring a single, modern learning management system and associated implementation services for its organisation. The platform will replace three existing learning systems and provide one environment for mandatory, role-specific, compliance, onboarding and professional development learning. It must support e-learning, classroom, virtual and blended delivery, learning pathways, certification and renewals, automated assignments, notifications, dashboards, reporting and analytics. Users will include more than 6,000 internal colleagues across housing, property maintenance, customer services, corporate and specialist functions, as well as external learners such as contractors, suppliers and customers. The service will be delivered across the United Kingdom through a vendor-managed SaaS platform hosted in the UK or EU, with mobile-responsive and accessible access for office-based and field-based users.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an accelerated open procedure. Bids may be submitted electronically in English by 28 September 2026 at 14:00, and enquiries may be submitted until 23 September 2026 at 14:00. The evaluation is expected to conclude by 15 October 2026 at 23:59. There is one lot. The estimated value is £470,000 excluding VAT, or £564,000 including VAT, for the initial contract term. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. Award decisions will assess quality at 70% and cost at 30%. Suppliers must meet all specified requirements.

This opportunity suits learning technology providers with a scalable SaaS learning management system and experience supporting large, geographically distributed and regulated organisations. Strong candidates will be able to manage multiple organisational structures, business areas, learner groups and external portals, while supporting role- and responsibility-based learning, compliance monitoring, certification, SCORM content, classroom and virtual events, configurable workflows and real-time reporting. The platform must integrate with Microsoft 365, modern single sign-on, HR and identity-management systems through REST APIs, and provide robust accessibility, security and data protection controls. Suppliers should have the capability to migrate historical learner and compliance records from three existing systems, and to provide implementation planning, configuration, testing, training, service management and defined support service levels.

SCOPE The solution must support: • More than 6,000 internal users. • Multiple organisational structures, business areas and geographical regions. • Role-based and responsibility-based learning assignment. • E-learning, classroom, virtual and blended learning delivery. • Internal and external learner populations. • Training compliance management and audit requirements. • Integration with existing and future business systems, including HR and identity management platforms. • Self-service access for learners, managers and administrators. • Mobile-responsive and accessible learning experiences across various devices. • The LMS must support modern single sign-on methods for internal users, and provide modern REST APIs as supported standard integration methods for our other business systems. • The LMS must be a vendor-managed SaaS solution hosted in the UK or EU. KEY FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS The proposed LMS should provide: • Automated role-based learning assignment. • Compliance and certification management. • Training renewal and expiry management. • SCORM-compliant content hosting and tracking. • Learning pathways and curricula management. • Cohort/Network management to enable social learning. • Classroom and virtual event management. • Learner, manager and administrator dashboards. • Real-time reporting and analytics. • Microsoft 365 and Single Sign-On integration. • Support for external learner access and separate portals where required. • Configurable workflows, notifications and permissions. • Strong accessibility, security and data protection controls. IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS The supplier will be expected to: • Support migration from 3 existing learning management systems. • Migrate historical learner and compliance records where appropriate. • Provide implementation planning, configuration, testing and training support. • Deliver a solution with appropriate service management arrangements and defined support service levels. • Demonstrate experience of implementing LMS solutions within large, multi-site and regulated organisations. EXPECTED OUTCOME The organisation's objective is to establish a single, sustainable LMS platform that provides an improved learner experience, enhanced compliance assurance, streamlined administration and a consistent approach to learning across all regions, business functions and learner groups. This platform will become the strategic learning system for the organisation and must be capable of supporting future organisational growth, additional user populations and evolving regulatory requirements. Suppliers will be invited to provide feedback on the achievability of BFL's vision, implementation and migration approaches, deployment phasing, indicative commercial models and emerging technology innovations relevant to the proposed solution, as well as estimate costs. Information gathered through this engagement will be used to refine requirements, inform procurement planning, budget planning and support the development of any future tender process. Participation does not form part of any subsequent procurement evaluation and no supplier selection will be made as part of this engagement.
