eLearning Platforms — Public Tenders
eLearning platforms and digital learning management systems (LMS) are increasingly procured by schools, universities, public authorities and public training institutions. Tenders cover software licences, cloud hosting, implementation, training and support. The DigitalPakt Schule programme and lessons learned from the pandemic have significantly increased demand for professional eLearning solutions in the public sector.

Challenges in finding tenders
Depending on the contracting authority, eLearning platforms are tendered as IT procurement (software), as an educational service, or as a combination of both. The classification varies and influences the procurement category. In addition, the requirements for data protection (GDPR compliance, server location in Germany/EU) and accessibility (BITV — German Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance) are particularly strict.
Terminology is varied: "LMS", "learning platform", "eLearning system", "digital learning environment" or "Learning Experience Platform" (LXP) can all describe the same procurement subject.
