Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Student Loans Company Limited involved the tender for the "Provision of Gift Vouchers" with a focus on the distribution of monetary vouchers for user research participants. Operating within the goods category, specifically classified under CPV code 30199750 for Coupons, this procurement process utilised a limited procurement method through competitive quotation below the threshold. The contract, valued at £40,000, is to be executed in Glasgow, Scotland, with delivery required to postal code G5 8DF. The contract was awarded on 16th February 2026, marking the completion of the award stage, and is set to run from 1st March 2026 to 29th February 2028. Such information is vital for potential suppliers, notably for SMEs and VCSEs, that aim to provide quality service to public sector contracts.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of supplying gift vouchers efficiently. As the procurement method focused on a competitive quotation model, businesses already established in the provision of marketing coupons or financial incentive programmes can consider this a compelling opportunity to partner with a public sector entity. The completion of this contract not only brings potential revenue but also enhances the participating supplier’s portfolio with government contracts, supporting further business development and networking potential. The awarded supplier, Motivates Inc Ltd T/A Lifestyles, exemplifies the business profile well-suited for such tenders.
