Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Student Loans Company procured content creation and information architecture services for a 13-month programme. The work falls within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000), and is categorised as a service contract. The requirement is to create content and develop the information architecture needed to organise and present information effectively. Delivery is in Scotland, for the Student Loans Company, whose registered address is in Glasgow. This is a digital content and service-design opportunity rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. It would suit organisations able to combine structured content production with information architecture and related digital consulting expertise for a public-sector organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process. The tender deadline was 19 January 2026, and the award was made on that date. TPXimpact Limited was selected for a contract valued at £634,000. The contract runs from 13 February 2026 to 31 March 2027, covering the stated 13-month service requirement. The tender’s estimated value was also £634,000. The procurement used a tender procedure, with the procurement method described as an open competition. The published outcome records one active award to TPXimpact Limited. The contract is for services delivered in Scotland and the tender status is complete.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms competing for comparable Student Loans Company work in future. Credible suppliers would need to deliver both high-quality content creation and information architecture, linking editorial practice with the structured design of digital information and user journeys. Relevant capability is likely to include public-sector or similarly regulated-environment experience, service design, content strategy, taxonomy and navigation design, and the ability to work with digital delivery teams. The scale indicates a requirement for an established delivery operation rather than an informal consultancy: the successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Strong governance, multidisciplinary staffing and dependable programme delivery would therefore be important.
