## Summary

City of Sunderland College is seeking an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) system to support apprenticeship delivery. The system must enable the College to track and assess apprenticeship standards, carry out quality assurance, and produce reports. This is a software and digital learning service, with a focus on systems for education and apprenticeship provision. The buying organisation is City of Sunderland College, based in Sunderland. The procurement concerns one system for the College’s apprenticeship standards, rather than a range of separate software or education services.

The College invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for both questions and submissions was 6 November 2026 at 12 noon. The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2032, with extension options at the College’s discretion, up to 31 January 2034. The published estimated gross value is £0. The College expected to make its award decision by 18 January 2027. Evaluation is weighted 45% for quality, 30% for cost, 15% for social value and 10% for added value.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide a modern, compliant e-portfolio system for apprenticeship standards. The system needs to support delivery, tracking, assessment, quality assurance and reporting. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable bidders. The requirement is for a joined-up platform covering these functions; suppliers whose products address only one part of the apprenticeship workflow may be less well placed. The stated evaluation gives substantial weight to quality, alongside cost, social value and added value.
