Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited is procuring services to support its MongoDB estate using a RAM-based model. The requirement is classified as security software services (CPV 48730000) and is intended for delivery across Scotland and the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Glasgow. The work concerns the supply or provision of a MongoDB solution that facilitates the organisation’s existing estate, rather than a general software or wider information technology requirement. Businesses specialising in MongoDB environments, memory-optimised database platforms, database security software or related technical support are the most directly relevant. The opportunity is categorised as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Student Loans Company Limited used a selective procedure described as a catalogue purchase. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2025 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to MongoDB UK Limited on 31 July 2025 for £474,960, and runs from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. Evaluation was for a service requirement supporting a RAM-based MongoDB estate; the available procurement information does not set out a separate price or quality weighting. The contract covers the requirement as a single procurement rather than separately identified lots. MongoDB UK Limited is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is Student Loans Company Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from Student Loans Company Limited for a RAM-based MongoDB estate and for security software services delivered across Scotland and the United Kingdom. A supplier preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need credible capability in designing, supplying, managing or supporting MongoDB environments where memory-based performance is central. Experience in database security, secure operation of enterprise software estates and integration with an established MongoDB environment would be relevant. The buying route was a selective catalogue purchase, so suppliers should be able to present a clear, standardised offering suitable for catalogue procurement, with defined service scope and delivery arrangements. The award to MongoDB UK Limited indicates that a specialist MongoDB provider can satisfy the requirement, while the recorded SME suitability suggests that appropriately capable smaller firms may also be competitive.
