Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured an authority-wide digital learning platform licence for its schools and nurseries, supporting approximately 6,600 learners. The platform brings together digital learning activities, assessment and feedback tools, family engagement and communication features, authority-level reporting, and platform administration. It is intended to support learning, teaching, assessment, parental engagement, inclusion and accessibility across participating settings in Perth and Kinross. This is a digital learning service delivered through licensed software, rather than a standalone supply of equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Perth & Kinross Council selected Computacenter (UK) Limited for the single-lot requirement. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and is valued at £165,870.66. The recorded process description says the award was made against the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework; the tender method is described as an open procedure. One bid was recorded. The data gives no award date or contract duration, so the signed date is the only stated contract date. The lot is recorded as complete, and the contract as active.

This award shows demand for a council-wide learning platform serving thousands of learners across schools and nurseries, with a broad set of connected functions rather than a single-purpose classroom tool. A credible competitor would need to provide licensing at authority scale, learning activities, assessment and feedback, family communications, central reporting and administrative controls. The platform must also support inclusion and accessibility across different participating settings. Suppliers with experience implementing and supporting education platforms for local authorities, and with the capacity to serve a large learner population, are best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market. The route recorded for this purchase was through a software value-added reseller framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to deliver through that route would also matter.
