Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited procured services to migrate its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution, Varonis, from the existing on-premises DataAdvantage deployment to a cloud-based service. The change was required because the current deployment was approaching the end of its life and support period. The requirement is principally for security software and associated cloud migration services, rather than a general IT transformation programme. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buyer is Student Loans Company Limited, based in Glasgow, Scotland. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered the requirement accessible to businesses below large-enterprise scale. The work concerns the transition, operation and support of a specific data security capability in a public-sector student finance environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited on 19 August 2026 for £212,235.28. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2028. The awarded supplier is listed as an SME. The procurement’s stated estimated value was also £212,235.28. The outcome is one active award covering the Varonis DSPM cloud migration requirement. This route indicates that future suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer may need access to the relevant framework or an equivalent approved purchasing route.

This procurement shows demand from Student Loans Company Limited for specialist data security posture management and cloud migration capability, centred on Varonis and DataAdvantage. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would understand data discovery, classification, access governance and security monitoring across cloud environments, while being able to manage the transition from an on-premises deployment. Credibility would also require experience of migrating and supporting security platforms in a controlled public-sector setting, with attention to continuity, data protection and end-of-life technology replacement. Smaller specialist cyber-security, cloud and managed-service businesses may be relevant, either independently or through a framework partnership. Experience with framework call-offs and delivering defined technology transitions would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
