## Summary

The Office for National Statistics procured a learning management system for field staff working on the Census 27 Test, including a small amount of training-content development. This is a training software and learning-platform service, rather than a general staffing or census-delivery contract. The work is for field operations in England, with the buyer based in Newport, Wales. The requirement would suit suppliers able to provide and support an online learning environment for a temporary or distributed workforce, while also creating limited bespoke learning materials. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that delivery did not depend solely on a large corporate supplier. The selected supplier, Titus Learning Ltd, is itself an SME.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Office for National Statistics selected Titus Learning Ltd on 26 August 2026 through a selective procedure, using a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £38,865. The award contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 25 August 2027. The wider tender contract period was stated as 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2027, and the tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract covers one service requirement for the Census 27 Test field-staff training platform and associated limited content development. The published outcome records one active award to one supplier; the award value and contract period above relate specifically to that award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from the Office for National Statistics for a focused learning-management service supporting census field staff, combined with a limited amount of tailored training-content development. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a reliable learning platform that can serve a distributed operational workforce, manage access and learning activity, and support the delivery of structured training. It would also need practical content-development capability, rather than offering software alone. The opportunity is appropriate to consider for an SME with experience in public-sector or workforce training platforms, implementation and support, and the capacity to deliver a contained service for a national statistical operation.
