UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University procured an e-portfolio software service comprising 1,000 PebblePad licences. The requirement includes a dedicated PebblePad installation for the university, full hosting, technical support for nominated contacts, daily on-site backups, software updates and upgrades, and video optimisation and streaming. The software and associated services are for use by London Metropolitan University, with delivery recorded in the UK.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. London Metropolitan University used a below-threshold limited competition. Pebble Learning Ltd was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £42,965 excluding VAT (£51,558 including VAT).

For suppliers tracking demand in this market, this award shows London Metropolitan University buying a dedicated hosted e-portfolio platform at institutional licence scale, bundled with support, daily backups, upgrades and video services. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide the platform and dependable hosting as an integrated service, maintain it through updates, and support the buyer’s nominated contacts. The award went to Pebble Learning Ltd, an SME, demonstrating that a supplier of this size was selected for the requirement. The scope points to the value of combining software provision with ongoing technical operations rather than supplying licences alone.
