Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council procured a learning management system to host, manage and deliver its staff learning and development provision. The requirement is for training software, rather than the delivery of training courses: suppliers provide the digital platform through which the Council’s learning is organised and made available. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the software package classification describing the system. The buyer is North Lanarkshire Council; the source does not identify a separate delivery location, so the work should be understood as supporting the Council’s learning and development service rather than a specified physical site.

The process has been awarded to Learning Pool Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active. The award date is not stated. The awarded value is £300,000. The procurement used a direct award to a single supplier without competition, and one bid is recorded. The tender period is listed from 11 April 2026 to 11 March 2030, a period that spans the stated contract dates. No separate contract start or end dates are recorded, so the tender-period dates should not be treated as confirmed contract dates. The award is for provision of the learning management system as a single requirement; no lots or evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award indicates demand at North Lanarkshire Council for a supplier able to provide a learning management system that can host, manage and deliver the Council’s learning and development provision. A credible competitor when this requirement returns to market would need to demonstrate a platform suited to organisational learning administration and content delivery, together with the capacity to support the Council’s provision as a whole. The award was made directly to one supplier without competition, so there is no published comparison of technical or commercial criteria from which to infer required credentials. The relevant commercial opportunity is therefore focused on suppliers of learning management platforms and associated service capability, rather than training providers whose offer is limited to classroom or course delivery.
