UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured distance-learning services, including licences for the 2026/2027 period. The requirement is for e-learning provision, delivered in the North Northamptonshire area. The council is the buying organisation, and the contract covers one lot. The published description does not give further detail about the courses, licence volumes or intended learners, so the requirement is best understood as a council-level purchase of distance-learning provision and associated licensing rather than a defined curriculum or platform specification.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Learning Curve Group Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT). The process is described as below threshold, with the procurement method otherwise recorded as unknown. The award is for e-learning services. The available procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the selection basis cannot be described beyond the award outcome.

This award shows that North Northamptonshire Council buys distance-learning provision together with licences, at a modest single-contract scale. Learning Curve Group Limited, a large supplier, was selected, demonstrating that the requirement was met by an established provider able to supply both learning and licensing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver e-learning and manage the associated licensing for a council buyer. The information available does not reveal specialist accreditation, course subject expertise, learner numbers or technical platform requirements, so these should not be assumed to have determined the award. The procurement provides a focused signal of demand for combined distance-learning and licence provision from this council.
