## Summary

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured an e-learning service for its education and training system, delivered through a third-party learning management platform. The requirement covers provision of the STH Learning Management System rather than standalone training content: the supplier provides the system through which the Trust’s education and training activity is delivered. It is classified as e-learning services and falls within the wider services category. Delivery is in England, for the Trust’s NHS education and training operations. This is therefore relevant to learning management system providers, e-learning technology businesses and suppliers able to support organisational learning in a healthcare environment. The appointed supplier is Think Learning, a Brighton-based SME, indicating that the requirement was capable of being delivered by a specialist learning technology provider, although the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender deadline recorded as 1 July 2026 at noon. Think Learning was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026 for £163,290. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers one requirement for the learning management system and associated e-learning service. The procurement’s stated tender value and awarded value are both £163,290, inclusive of the published procurement estimate and award amount in GBP. The award is active, and the contract period matches the service period recorded for the requirement. No separate lots or multiple awards are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a major NHS teaching organisation for a managed learning management system supporting education and training over a multi-year service period. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a credible third-party platform, reliable hosting and service management, and the ability to support structured organisational learning rather than isolated online courses. Experience delivering e-learning systems to large, complex organisations would strengthen a future proposition, particularly where users, training records, administration and reporting must be handled consistently. Healthcare-sector understanding would also be valuable, including the ability to work with NHS governance, information security, data protection and operational assurance requirements. A specialist learning technology business can be relevant, but the recorded procurement was not considered suitable for SME participation, so demonstrable capacity and resilience would be important.
