Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured an e-learning portal, a software platform for delivering online learning. The requirement is described as procurement of the portal for the council, with delivery in Dundee. It is classified as software and information systems. This is a digital learning technology requirement rather than a general training or course-delivery service, and is relevant to suppliers that provide e-learning platforms and related software. The council is the buying organisation; the awarded supplier is Learning Pool Ltd. The published scope identifies a single requirement for the portal, without further functional detail about users, course content, integrations or hosting. Businesses assessing fit should therefore focus on their ability to supply an e-learning portal for a local authority, rather than infer specific technical features beyond the stated platform requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Learning Pool Ltd. Dundee City Council used a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service G Cloud 14 framework, without a separate competition or prior call for competition. The recorded evaluation criterion was price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The contract value is £283,408, and it was signed on 20 May 2026. The contract award information identifies one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data; the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement includes an option to extend the contract by a further 12 months, up to 17 May 2030. The stated delivery location is Dundee.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows Dundee City Council’s demand for an e-learning portal and its use of the G Cloud 14 framework to place this requirement by direct award. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need an established e-learning platform suitable for a local authority, with the capacity to support the council’s operational needs and deliver the portal in Dundee. The recorded selection was based on price, so competitive pricing would matter alongside demonstrating that the platform meets the buyer’s stated requirement. The award went to a large supplier, and the recorded bid count was one, including no SME bids. Those facts give suppliers useful context on the market route and competition, but do not establish technical specifications or particular accreditations.
