UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford College procured a Kallidus learning management system (LMS), a software platform for managing and delivering learning. The requirement is for the College’s own use; the awarded item is classified as software and information systems. Delivery is recorded in the United Kingdom. The procurement is focused on the LMS rather than a wider package of education or training services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bradford College used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Kallidus Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 27 February 2026 and runs from 15 May 2026 to 14 May 2029. Its value is £105,396 excluding VAT (£126,475 including VAT). The published information gives no separate evaluation criteria; the procurement proceeded without a competitive evaluation.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements at Bradford College, this award demonstrates demand for a learning management system supplied as software. A credible competitor would need to offer an LMS that can meet the College’s learning-management needs and support delivery and management of learning. The selected supplier, Kallidus Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider secured the contract. The route used was a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive scoring basis or specific technical accreditations. Suppliers with a relevant LMS product and the capacity to provide and support it would be closest to this requirement.
