Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited procured recruitment advertising and candidate-sourcing services for its Talent Acquisition team. The requirement covers 12 job-posting slots and three recruiter licences, supporting vacancy advertising and proactive searches for candidates across the organisation. This is a recruitment technology and job-search service rather than the provision of recruitment staff or a managed recruitment campaign. The service is delivered for the organisation in Scotland, with the buyer based in Glasgow. The procurement falls within the services category and concerns job search services. It is relevant to providers of professional recruitment platforms, job advertising services or recruiter-access licences that can support organisation-wide hiring activity and candidate sourcing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 July 2026 to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. The award value is £168,900 including the stated currency, and the contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2031. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 9:00am. Student Loans Company Limited is the buyer. The awarded requirement covers the 12 job slots and three recruiter licences described for the organisation’s recruitment activity. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company is recorded as the active awarded supplier for the contract.

This award indicates established demand from Student Loans Company Limited for a combined job advertising and proactive candidate-sourcing platform, at organisation-wide scale. A credible future competitor would need a substantial professional recruitment marketplace, the ability to provide multiple job-posting slots, and recruiter licences that support searching for and contacting potential candidates. The service should be suitable for continued use by a Talent Acquisition team across varied vacancies, rather than being limited to one recruitment campaign or specialist role. Because the buyer used a framework call-off, suppliers would also need a route to offer these services through an appropriate framework and the commercial capacity to support a large organisation. The requirement is not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary and community organisations.
