Summary of the contracting process

Hull College procured software and information systems under the LJ Create Software 2026 requirement. The purchase was a software supply rather than a wider works or services contract. Delivery is recorded for the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery town is identified. The requirement was for a sole-source purchase of LJ Create software, linking the procurement to software supplied by Creative Learning (Norwich) Limited. Hull College is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Creative Learning (Norwich) Limited. Hull College used a direct award without competition, described as below threshold. The award relates to a single lot. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027. Its gross value is £34,800. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the procurement details.

For suppliers assessing comparable future requirements from Hull College, this award shows demand for LJ Create software through a sole-supplier route rather than an open competition. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant software and demonstrate that it can meet the college’s requirement for a dedicated software solution. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME; the published details do not establish a need for a large delivery organisation. Commercial relevance is therefore strongest for software vendors with a product that can serve the same educational buyer need and a clear basis for being considered as a sole supplier.
