Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian College, located in Livingston, UK, has concluded a procurement process under the title "VLE Moodle" in the education sector. This contract, falling in the goods category, was carried out using a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award under a framework agreement without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process, now at the award and contract stage, was completed with a contract signed on 25th August 2025. The procurement method used was justified as the procurement falls outside the scope of typical directive applications and was situated in the UK region of Livingston.

This tender creates significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs like New Media Warehouse T/A Synergy Learning, the awarded supplier. With a contract value of £44,000, the procurement is ideal for businesses skilled in providing virtual learning environments, specifically those with expertise in Moodle platforms. Companies with capabilities in educational technology can find similar opportunities lucrative, especially those that can navigate direct award frameworks and stand out in a field where direct, non-competitive procurement processes are possible.
