Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Housing Limited bought a LinkedIn Learning online training platform, classified as an e-learning service. The platform is intended to provide learning content to Yorkshire Housing. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom. The named supplier is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, based in Dublin. The procurement covers one lot and is specifically described as the LinkedIn Learning Platform. The contract also allows for additional licences and services as required, so the requirement can extend beyond the core platform. This is a corporate learning technology service rather than a purchase of standalone training courses or physical goods.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. Yorkshire Housing used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 28 April 2027 to 27 April 2029. Its gross value is £107,100. The agreement covers one lot and includes an option for additional licences or services as required. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information does not describe evaluation criteria or a competitive assessment; the stated route was a direct award without competition.

For suppliers positioning for a future requirement of this kind at Yorkshire Housing, the relevant offer is a hosted learning platform with a usable range of online learning content, backed by the ability to provide licences and related services as demand requires. The selected provider was LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, a large supplier, and the requirement was bought directly rather than through a competitive procedure. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its platform can support organisational learning at comparable scale, manage user licences and provide ongoing service. The purchase shows demand for digital learning provision, not a broader HR transformation or general training programme.
