Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Borders Council has awarded a contract for a Digital Learning Platform, aimed at enhancing digital learning across all schools in the Scottish Borders. The procurement, identified by ID "JUL510976" and concluded in July 2024, falls under the "General public services" industry category. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract being signed on 3rd July 2024. Notably, the award procedure did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, following the guidelines under Reg. 33 (4)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
