## Summary

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured continued provision of the Totara Learn and Totara Perform learning management system, known internally as YAS247. The platform supports the Trust’s staff learning, appraisal, compliance and workforce development. The requirement is for the software service and its support, rather than a general-purpose IT system. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s headquarters in Wakefield. The Trust described the platform as business-critical and sought continuity of the existing service, avoiding disruption to its workforce processes. Think Learning was the incumbent provider and the selected supplier for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Think Learning. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The process used a limited award without a prior call for competition, through the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework. The Trust benchmarked six certified Totara providers and assessed service offering, capability, NHS experience and fit with its functional requirements; the lot’s stated award criterion was price. Six bids were recorded. The awarded contract value and contract period are not provided in the published information. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are shown as active; the recorded outcome names Think Learning as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS ambulance trust for a business-critical Totara Learn and Totara Perform platform supporting staff development, appraisal and compliance. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need to provide the Totara learning and performance management service, meet the Trust’s functional needs and demonstrate relevant NHS experience and delivery capability. The evaluation also considered the service offering, while price was identified as the award criterion. The selected provider was the incumbent and a Totara Platinum Partner, indicating the value of established platform expertise and the ability to maintain service continuity. A credible competitor would need to show how it can support a critical workforce system while limiting operational disruption and the risks of migration, retraining and implementation.

## Notice

The Totara platform (known within the Trust as YAS247) is a business-critical system that supports the Trust's learning, appraisal, compliance and workforce development activities. Think Learning is the Trust's incumbent supplier and, following its merger with Chambury Learning Solutions in late 2024, is now part of the Totara Group. The Trust has confirmed that it is fully satisfied with the supplier's performance and wishes to continue with the existing service.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust requires the provision of its Totara Learn and Totara Perform Learning Management System (LMS), known within the Trust as YAS247, which is a business-critical platform supporting learning, appraisal, compliance and workforce development activities. A benchmarking exercise was undertaken through the G-Cloud 14 Framework, reviewing service offerings from six suppliers providing Totara services. The assessment considered service offering, capability, NHS experience and ability to meet the Trust's functional requirements. Think Learning, the incumbent supplier and a Totara Platinum Partner, was identified as the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT), providing the most comprehensive solution aligned to the Trust's requirements while maintaining continuity of the existing service. The contract will therefore be awarded to Think Learning via the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework, providing a compliant route to market and avoiding the operational disruption, data migration, retraining and implementation risks associated with transitioning to an alternative supplier.
