UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured self-hosted e-learning licences for Cyber Awareness and Data Confident training. The requirement is for e-learning services, covering access to learning content that can be hosted and managed within the authority’s own environment rather than delivered solely through a supplier-hosted platform. The intended users are associated with the combined authority and its public-sector responsibilities, with delivery in Greater Manchester. This is a focused digital learning requirement for organisations that provide cyber security awareness and data protection or data confidence training through self-hosted systems. Relevant suppliers are e-learning and learning technology providers with established licence-based training products, particularly those able to support public-sector users and self-hosted deployment. The procurement was managed by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to OMNIPLEX LEARNING GROUP LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition, covering one lot. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 September 2027, with a possible 12-month extension to 1 September 2028. Its value is £26,715 excluding VAT and £32,058 including VAT. The contract is active. The recorded requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct-award route rather than an open tender, and the selected supplier is Omniplex Learning Group Limited. The arrangement concerns licences for the specified Cyber Awareness and Data Confident e-learning services, with the contract period and extension provision defining the expected term of the service.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates that Greater Manchester Combined Authority buys self-hosted cyber awareness and data confidence learning through a licence-based e-learning model. A credible competitor would need proven digital learning content in these subjects, licensing arrangements suitable for organisational use, and the technical capability to support deployment in a buyer-controlled hosting environment. Experience supporting public-sector organisations would help, particularly where training must be administered consistently across a large workforce and aligned with cyber security and responsible data-handling objectives. Suppliers should also be able to explain how their platform or content integrates with self-hosted learning environments, how licences are managed, and how learning remains current. The successful provider’s scale and specialist e-learning focus indicate that both product maturity and operational capacity are relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
