Edmonton Catholic Separate School Division - Notice of Award - Edwin Licensing

The Edmonton Catholic Separate School Division has awarded a purchase agreement for Edwin Licensing at a cost of $259,612.98, securing exclusive access to this proprietary, sole-source educational resource through publisher Nelson. This acquisition is critical to maintaining alignment with curriculum standards, as previously funded materials from Pearson and Scholastic are no longer accessible via New Learn Alberta. Edwin has been formally vetted and approved as a reliable replacement, ensuring teachers have high-quality, curriculum-aligned digital content without resorting to unvetted, potentially inconsistent resources such as Teachers Pay Teachers or Super Simple Sheets. The contract was issued under solicitation number AB-2026-05438 and awarded on July 30, 2026, with Lisa Dunkin, Manager of Procurement Services, serving as the primary point of contact for the division. The agreement supports consistent educational delivery across all ECSD schools in Edmonton, Alberta.
