## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, represented by ICS on behalf of DSIT and DESNZ, has concluded a procurement process for the provision of an E-Learning Platform, specifically Pluralsight licences. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category (CPV 48000000) and was executed through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 (RM1557.14) framework agreement. The contract, which has now reached the award update stage, has been extended and is active from 12th June 2025 until 11th June 2027, covering locations throughout the UK and internationally, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. With a total contract value not exceeding £38,569, the procurement method selected was selective, indicating a controlled tender process.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in digital learning solutions and software packages to establish a relationship with a prominent governmental body. Particularly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are positioned to benefit due to the contract's suitability requirements, although the contract was ultimately awarded to Softcat Limited, a large supplier. Businesses with expertise in developing and supplying software and e-learning platforms can gain substantial exposure and industry credibility by engaging in similar procurement processes, benefiting from the targeted approach of call-off framework agreements.
