UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University procured an online staff learning content hub. The requirement is for a platform that gives university staff access to digital learning resources, online courses and professional development content. This is an ongoing digital learning and e-learning service rather than the supply of physical training materials or construction works. The service is delivered for Oxford Brookes University in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at its Gipsy Lane, Headington site in Oxford. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of hosted learning platforms, e-learning libraries, online course content and staff development resources for higher education or other organisational workforces.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was used. MIND TOOLS LTD was selected as the supplier on 30 July 2026. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2029. Its value is £48,242 excluding tax, or £57,890.40 including tax. The award concerns e-learning services. The contracting route was direct procurement rather than an open tender, so the opportunity demonstrates a buyer purchasing this type of service without a competitive procedure. The contract is recorded as active.

This procurement indicates demand from Oxford Brookes University for a hosted staff learning service combining a content platform with ready-to-use digital resources, courses and development material. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable online access for an organisational workforce, maintain a substantial and relevant learning catalogue, and support staff development through a usable digital service. Experience delivering e-learning or learning-content platforms to universities, public bodies or similarly structured employers would help demonstrate fit. Suppliers should also be able to operate a service at institutional scale, manage ongoing content access and updates, and show how their platform supports varied staff learning needs rather than a single course or training programme.
