Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company procured a visual collaboration platform as a three-year services contract. The requirement is for software supporting visual collaboration and related information-system functionality, rather than physical works or goods. Delivery is for the organisation’s operations in Scotland, with the buyer based at 10 Clyde Place, Glasgow. The procurement is relevant to software providers offering visual collaboration platforms, digital workplace tools or associated implementation and support services. Suppliers should be able to provide and maintain a platform for organisational use over a multi-year service period. The buyer is Student Loans Company, a public-sector organisation responsible for student finance administration. The requirement concerns a platform-based service, so businesses whose principal offer is software licensing, cloud delivery, platform support or technology services may find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 June 2026. Generation Digital Ltd was selected as supplier for £92,040, with the contract running from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 4 June 2026. The award covers the full visual collaboration platform requirement described for the three-year term. The recorded procurement method detail is ‘Not specified’. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. This is an award outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a tender. The contract value and period indicate a defined, medium-scale technology service engagement for one buyer, with delivery connected to Scotland. The award was recorded and published on 30 July 2026.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear indication that Student Loans Company purchases visual collaboration technology as a managed, multi-year service rather than as a one-off software transaction. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature visual collaboration platform, dependable hosting or software delivery, and the capacity to support a public-sector customer throughout a sustained service term. Relevant strengths would include implementation, user support, service management, information-security controls and reliable platform performance. The recorded suitability assessment was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the successful supplier was classified as large. Businesses targeting comparable work should therefore demonstrate established delivery capacity, resilient support arrangements and experience operating technology services at organisational scale for public bodies.
