UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oak National Academy Limited procured software engineering services to develop and support an internal Curriculum SDK. The SDK is intended to provide a transition layer for internal users while curriculum data moves to a new platform, and to support adoption across Oak’s internal services. The work covers gathering requirements from internal stakeholders, designing and building the SDK in TypeScript, creating development tooling, developing continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, and producing reusable methods for querying and reshaping curriculum data. This is a software development services requirement, delivered for Oak National Academy’s internal operations. The buyer is based in Manchester, and the service relates to Oak’s UK-wide organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Computer Conquest Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 13 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £64,000 excluding VAT, or £76,800 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route under the applicable UK procurement legislation. The appointed supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract is active, while the wider tender process is recorded as complete.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a national education organisation for specialist software engineering capable of working on internal platforms and data migration. A credible future supplier would need strong TypeScript development skills, experience designing software development kits and reusable interfaces, and the ability to translate stakeholder requirements into practical technical solutions. Relevant capability also includes developer tooling, continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, and querying, transforming and reshaping structured curriculum data. Suppliers should be able to support adoption across multiple internal services rather than deliver an isolated application. The successful provider was an SME, indicating that a focused specialist technology business with suitable engineering capacity could compete for comparable work from this buyer.
