## Summary

The Office for National Statistics procured Comaea, a competency and skills management system. The software supports competency management, skills assessments, career pathways and learning management. This is a software and information systems purchase, delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Newport, Wales.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to COMAEA UK LIMITED on 10 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £74,440. The contract runs from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2030. The ONS used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or lots are stated in the procurement details.

For suppliers competing for a future ONS requirement of this kind, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated competency and skills platform covering assessment, career pathways and learning management. A credible competitor would need to show that its software can support these functions as a coherent system, rather than offering only a standalone training or assessment tool. The selected supplier is a UK small business, indicating that a supplier of SME scale has delivered a solution for the ONS. Experience implementing competency-management software and supporting its use across workforce development would be relevant to demonstrating fit. The framework call-off route is also important: suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer's similar requirement would need a route onto an applicable framework.
