## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of digital training courses, with the contract awarded to Paradise Computing Ltd. The procurement focused on staff training services in digital tools like MS Excel, MS Word, Power BI, Power Automate, and MS Teams.

The tender period concluded on 20th June 2025, with the contract set to commence on 1st July 2025 and run through to 30th June 2028.
