PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh College procured a student information management system. The requirement covers the system itself, its implementation and the associated annual subscription. It is intended to support the college’s student information and administration needs. The procurement is categorised as goods and falls within the broad business and management software sector, including information management, education software, database and systems software. Delivery is associated with Edinburgh and another Scottish delivery area. Edinburgh College is the public education body buying and using the system. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and is relevant to software providers, education technology companies, systems integrators and suppliers able to deliver both implementation services and ongoing subscription-based support.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure, with the award made through the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework. One lot was awarded to Tribal Education Limited. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £770,390. The published bid statistics record one bid, with no SME bids, and the bid was from outside the EU. The award related to the complete student information management system requirement, including implementation costs and the annual subscription. The available outcome shows a single supplier selection; the procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This outcome indicates demand from Edinburgh College for a substantial, institution-wide student information system rather than a standalone software module. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need a proven education-sector information management platform, the ability to implement it in a college environment and the capacity to provide reliable annual subscription support. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating integration, data migration, user support, service continuity and the ability to manage a long-running customer relationship. The route used here shows the value of access to a suitable public-sector technology framework, as well as the importance of being able to deliver the combined software, implementation and support requirement through one accountable supplier.
