Learning Materials — Public Tenders

The procurement of learning materials for schools, vocational schools, and educational institutions is a regular contract item for municipal school operators. The range extends from classical textbooks and workbooks through to digital learning media and consumables for science and arts lessons. Digitalisation is increasingly shifting the focus to digital licences and online learning platforms.

Typical tenders in the learning materials sector

  • Framework agreement for the supply of textbooks for a district
  • Procurement of digital textbook licences for tablets and laptops
  • Supply of consumables for science teaching
  • Teaching and learning materials for vocational schools (sector-specific materials)
  • Procurement of demonstration models and demonstration equipment
  • Digital learning media and apps for primary schools

Challenges in finding tenders

Learning materials are procured by a multitude of municipal school operators on a decentralised basis. The procurement volumes of individual contracting authorities are often small, but substantial in aggregate. Identifying all relevant tenders requires broad regional coverage.

In addition, digitalisation is fundamentally changing the market: alongside classical supply contracts (books, materials), licence and service awards (digital learning platforms, subscriptions) are becoming more prevalent. CPV classification for digital learning media is not yet standardised.
