Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited procured a learning management system (LMS) for staff learning and training. The requirement was for provision of the system, rather than a wider package of specified goods or services. It was arranged as one lot and relates to the airports organisation’s operations in the Highlands and Islands. The buyer is based at Inverness Airport; the delivery location is described only at regional level. The procurement was classified as computer software, covering enterprise resource planning and other software packages (CPV 48000000). The process was run by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited, which also buys the system for its own use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Learning Pool Ltd. The buyer used an open procedure; the award was made against the G-Cloud 14 framework. One lot was awarded, and the published bid statistics record one bid for it. The stated contract value is £84,692. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026. The award date and contract period are not published in the available process data, so the timing and duration of delivery cannot be stated. The data gives no separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for this award. There was no option to extend or make additional purchases recorded for the lot.

This award shows demand from Highlands and Islands Airports Limited for a learning management system procured through the G-Cloud framework. Learning Pool Ltd was selected, and the recorded competition attracted one bid, indicating a focused opportunity rather than a multi-supplier contest. A credible competitor for this buyer’s next LMS requirement would need to supply and support a platform suited to organisational learning and training, and be able to contract through the relevant framework route. The requirement was a single-lot software purchase, suggesting suppliers should be prepared to deliver a coherent LMS solution rather than bid for separate components. The process data does not describe technical features, user numbers, integrations, accreditation requirements or service levels, so these cannot be treated as established requirements.
