Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company procured a replacement and optimisation of its collections system, classified as IT services. The requirement concerns the technology used to manage collections, including replacing the existing system and optimising its operation. The buyer is Student Loans Company, based in Glasgow, and delivery is identified as being in Scotland. This is a technology and systems requirement rather than a general collection of goods, despite the procurement category being recorded as goods. The named supplier, Pegasystems Limited, is an IT company. The procurement title and description give the same short account of the work, without further breakdown into specific software modules, implementation tasks or support arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Pegasystems Limited. The award was made on 13 February 2026 for £34,560. The contract runs from 4 March 2026 to 3 March 2027. The stated tender response deadline was 12 February 2026. The estimated procurement value and awarded value are both £34,560. The process record does not set out a named procurement procedure or method, nor does it provide an evaluation formula or criteria. No separate lots are identified. Suitability is recorded as false for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This is an award outcome, rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit a bid on this contract.

For suppliers competing for a comparable future requirement from Student Loans Company, this award demonstrates demand for replacing and optimising a collections system, with IT systems capability at its core. A credible competitor would need to show that it can deliver a system replacement and improve the operation of collections technology, rather than offer unrelated software or general IT support. The selected supplier is a large company, and the buyer recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; businesses should therefore consider whether they have the scale and delivery capacity to meet a similar requirement. The record does not identify particular certifications, technical products, staffing levels or experience thresholds, so the evidence of fit here is the ability to provide the collections system work itself.
