What is being bought

Navigatr to provide a "Community Package" on their web-based platform. This will allow Bradford Careers and Technical Education to host and issue digital skills badges on this platform. Improved functionality offer from Navigatr means we no longer need to pay for separate badge writing/quality assurance software (previously purchased separately from Badge Nation at a cost of £5,000 per annum). It was proposed in early 2026, that due to commissioning resource issues and the need to ensure continuity of service, we could maintain the existing contract arrangements with Navigatr for a further year with a view to undertaking a competitive commissioning exercise to put in place a long-term contract to commence in April 2027.
