## Summary

Kent County Council procured a learning management system for delivering staff training across its organisation. The service is an e-learning and learning administration platform, providing access to online courses, face-to-face course bookings and live online event bookings. It supports mandatory compliance training, structured learning programmes such as Managing into the Future, and the Competency Framework for Statutory Responsibilities. The system also hosts the Kent Academy for the Adults and Children’s Workforce and provides management information and reporting on compliance, including mandatory training and Care Quality Commission requirements. The service category is e-learning services (CPV 80420000). Delivery is for Kent County Council in Maidstone and the wider South East of England.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Kent County Council used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The award was made on 17 July 2026 to Learning Pool Limited for £164,000 excluding any stated tax treatment. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with a two-year term and no extension available. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. There was one award and no lots are identified. The selected supplier is Learning Pool Limited. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer selected an established framework supplier for this requirement.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award shows Kent County Council’s requirement for a single learning platform combining digital learning, course and event administration, mandatory compliance training, structured workforce programmes, academy content and management information. A credible competitor would need to provide these functions as an integrated service rather than a standalone course library. It would also need to support reporting across mandatory training and regulatory compliance agendas, host content for both adult and children’s workforces, and manage varied learning formats. The chosen supplier was a large organisation, and the council used a G-Cloud framework call-off, so future competitors would need a suitable public-sector framework route and the capacity to deliver an organisation-wide platform. The requirement indicates demand for mature learning technology and implementation capability.
