What is being bought

Published requirement description

The MHRA is looking to implement an all-in-one digital solution that combines the capabilities of Learning Experience platform and the administrative function of a Learning Management System. We are seeking a solution that would provide a “one stop shop” for the agency’s 1500 colleagues to be able to plan, identify, undertake and monitor both assigned learning as well as self-directed/paced learning and to support learner collaboration. The system should have the functionality to design and host content and be capable of scheduling and hosting in person learning via virtual classrooms. There is a corporate need to provide assurance through the capturing and maintenance of learner/learning records on learning undertaken and assessments successfully completed. The solution will be key to supporting our ambitions of becoming a learning organisation and our agency value of creating an environment where learning and innovation thrive.

The Agency is seeking to let a contract for a three-year period, with two twelve-month optional extensions (for a total possible five-year contract term) to one Supplier .

  • No preliminary market engagement: PME undertaken via a framework which did not provide results desired.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
