Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, overseen by Fife Council, involves the extension of the corporate e-learning content contract under procurement ID 12069. This falls within the 'General public services' and 'Professional Services' industry categories and is located in the UKM72 region – Glenrothes, Scotland. The process is currently in the 'Award' stage, with the contract having been signed on 18th September 2024. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as this was an extension to a pre-existing contract. The contract's final value is £50,212.50, reflecting a 14-month extension and subsequently a 6-month continuation.

This extension provides substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the professional services sector, particularly those specialising in e-learning content. SMEs, such as Learning Nexus, the awarded supplier, are especially well-positioned for such procurements due to their adaptability and niche expertise. Given the contract's location and sector focus, businesses that can provide innovative and high-quality e-learning solutions are likely to find similar opportunities beneficial for expanding their footprint in the public sector. The established nature of this extension, carried out primarily via email communications, suggests a potential for efficient contract management and execution strategies for suitable businesses.
