Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Student Loans Company bought application management services and SMART tooling to support its Workday system. This is specialist business software support, covering the ongoing management of the organisation’s Workday application. The buying organisation is the Student Loans Company, and the delivery location is Scotland. The requirement centres on keeping a core HR and business system supported, rather than supplying general IT services. Its combination of Workday application management and associated tooling indicates a focused requirement for suppliers with relevant enterprise application support capability.

The procurement is complete and Kainos Worksmart Limited was awarded the contract on 30 September 2026. The award value is £865,284. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. The published tender value was also £865,284. The procurement was for services and the recorded tender closing date was 30 September 2026. The award was made to one supplier; the information provided does not set out separate lots or a stated evaluation basis. The contract covers Workday application management services and SMART tooling for the Student Loans Company in Scotland.

This award demonstrates an established requirement at the Student Loans Company for specialist Workday application management supported by SMART tooling. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability to support and maintain the Workday system in a business-critical environment, alongside the technical expertise to deliver the associated tooling. The scale and multi-year nature of the service favour suppliers able to provide sustained application support, manage ongoing service needs and commit appropriate specialist resource. The selected supplier was a large business, and small and medium-sized enterprise suitability was marked false, pointing to a requirement likely to favour established providers with the capacity and relevant enterprise-system experience to deliver a substantial support service.
