## Summary

Staffordshire County Council recently initiated a tender process titled "VR / XR Platform," aimed at acquiring a commercial off-the-shelf platform for virtual and extended reality services. This procurement falls within the industry category of 'Education and training services,' targeting the enhancement of adult learning, teenager training, and job training in Staffordshire. The process was conducted under an open competition method, classified as below threshold, with a tender period ending on 16th July 2025. Although initially active, this procurement was ultimately cancelled on 9th December 2025 due to a lack of valid bids. The contracting authority, Staffordshire County Council, is a public authority operating in the UK, specifically in the region of UKG24, Stafford.

This tender presented opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in education technology and industry-specific software solutions. Businesses providing VR or XR platforms could leverage this tender to expand their market presence within the public sector and influence educational technology standards. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) were particularly encouraged to participate; however, the lack of successful bids suggests a competitive opportunity for future submissions. Companies are advised to monitor similar procurements for their potential to extend into the VR and XR markets by fulfilling public sector needs in educational advancements.
