Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited procured a comprehensive pre-employment screening service for all new hires. The service covers identity document and right-to-work verification, basic criminal record checks, digital identity checks, adverse financial history, at least three years of occupational history, employment and professional references, fraud prevention, and international checks where applicable. It also includes integration with the buyer’s Workday system to support recruitment and onboarding. This is a personnel screening service, classified under CPV 79630000, delivered in Scotland. The procurement is categorised as services and is relevant to providers of employee vetting, background screening, identity verification and related recruitment technology integration.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Student Loans Company Limited selected Experian (UK) Holdings 2006 Limited on 26 August 2026. The award value is £65,000. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2028. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions closing on 14 July 2026 at 09:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The contract covers the full screening requirement and associated Workday integration for new hires.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Student Loans Company Limited for an integrated, end-to-end pre-employment screening service rather than a single background check. Credible future suppliers would need to combine right-to-work and identity verification, criminal record screening, financial adverse-history checks, employment-history verification, professional references, fraud prevention and international screening where needed. They would also need dependable systems integration capability, particularly the ability to connect screening workflows with Workday and support a smooth handover from recruitment to onboarding. Providers should be able to handle screening for all new hires, manage sensitive personal information securely, and deliver consistent checks across domestic and international cases. The completed call-off indicates that this buyer uses framework-based procurement for this type of service.
