## Summary

The Cabinet Office procured a proprietary learning platform licence and tier-3 support for the Rustici Engine. The software integrates with the Cabinet Office’s bespoke CSL learning management system and provides an on-premise xAPI-conformant Learning Record Store. It supports SCORM 1.2 and 2004, AICC, cmi5, xAPI and LTI standards, third-party learning materials, and preservation of the existing Government Digital Service front-end styling. This is an IT software and support services requirement, delivered in the United Kingdom. The scope is suited to suppliers providing enterprise learning technology, learning record stores, standards-based content interoperability and technical support for government or other tightly controlled environments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Rustici Software on 25 August 2026. The Cabinet Office used a direct award because it considered Rustici the only viable supplier for the required on-premise integration, Learning Record Store, xAPI and SCORM support, compatibility with the bespoke CSL system, unchanged GDS styling and third-party learning content. The award value is USD 289,500 excluding tax, or USD 347,400 including tax. The contract period is 2 October 2026 to 18 September 2029, with signature scheduled for 2 October 2026. One lot was awarded, covering software package and information systems and related IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The selected supplier is Rustici Software.

This award demonstrates demand for a specialist learning platform that can operate on premises and integrate directly with a bespoke learning management system without changing an established government user interface. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in xAPI-based Learning Record Stores and broad interoperability across SCORM, AICC, cmi5, xAPI and LTI, together with support for third-party learning materials. The requirement also favours suppliers able to provide proprietary licensing and high-level technical support for a public-sector learning environment, while preserving existing Government Digital Service styling and operating within controlled government technology arrangements. Relevant experience integrating complex learning platforms, maintaining standards compliance and supporting an enterprise customer would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement returns to market.
