UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council appointed a supplier to provide the Litmos cloud-based learning management system. This is a software service supporting the council’s learning and training management requirements, with associated software programming and consultancy services. The procurement covers the complete requirement under a single lot. The buyer is Epping Forest District Council, a sub-central public authority based in Epping. The awarded service is supplied by Litmos UK, Ltd., a UK small and medium-sized enterprise based in Bristol. The service is for use by the council in the United Kingdom and sits within the wider market for cloud learning platforms, learning administration software, implementation support and related consultancy.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Epping Forest District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Litmos UK, Ltd. was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 19 June 2025 and runs from 21 June 2025 to 20 June 2028. Its value is £68,172 excluding VAT, or £81,806.40 including VAT. The requirement was classified as software programming and consultancy services. The award record identifies Litmos UK, Ltd. as the supplier and the contract remains active; the procurement therefore records an established arrangement rather than a live competitive opportunity. The published outcome confirms the council’s chosen supplier, route to market, service category and contract scale.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for a cloud-based learning management system supported by software programming and consultancy. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Epping Forest District Council would need a mature learning platform, the capability to provide or support cloud delivery, and the technical expertise to configure, maintain and advise on the system. Evidence of delivering comparable learning-management services to public bodies would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside the capacity to support the council throughout a multi-year service arrangement. The route used here shows that the buyer has previously procured this type of requirement as a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should understand the council’s existing platform needs and demonstrate a clear fit with them.
