Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited commissioned professional services for the implementation of Agile ways of working. The requirement covers digital delivery implementation support rather than a defined software product or construction project, and is classified as IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). The work is intended to support organisational and delivery change through Agile methods over the service period. Delivery is in Scotland, with the buyer based in Glasgow. The opportunity is categorised as a services contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with experience in Agile transformation, digital delivery and related IT professional services are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. Student Loans Company Limited awarded the contract to Capgemini UK plc on 21 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,170,020 excluding VAT. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 21 February 2028, providing 18 months of professional services. The recorded tender value and award value are the same. The process has one requirement rather than separately described lots. The award is active, and the published outcome identifies Capgemini UK plc as the selected supplier. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates that Student Loans Company Limited buys substantial, time-limited support for implementing Agile ways of working through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in Agile transformation, digital delivery, service implementation and professional IT consultancy, with the capacity to support organisational change throughout a sustained delivery programme. Experience spanning software development, internet services and IT support would align with the classification of the requirement. The buyer’s acceptance of SME participation indicates that smaller specialist firms may be able to compete, provided they can show sufficient delivery capacity and relevant evidence. Framework access and experience of structured public-sector call-offs would also be important when pursuing this buyer’s comparable requirements.
