Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited bought an extension to its MicroStrategy software subscription, covering the upgrade from an on-premise installation to software as a service (SaaS). The requirement is an information technology service delivered in Scotland.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Atos IT Services UK Limited on 24 August 2026. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using an extension option included in the original contract. The award value is £292,891.66. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 11:00. The procurement was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar work for Student Loans Company, this award demonstrates demand for continued MicroStrategy software subscription services supporting a move from on-premise software to SaaS. A credible competitor would need to support that specific platform and subscription arrangement, including continuity through an extension to an existing contract. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so relevant framework access and experience delivering comparable software services would matter when this requirement next comes to market. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that the buyer did not consider those organisation types suitable for this opportunity.
