Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by the Student Loans Company has concluded with the award of the contract titled "GB-Glasgow: DSFS Platform Testing" in the software testing industry. This contract, valued at £1,200,000, involves an 18-month platform testing service with an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with contract activities scheduled to commence on 23rd December 2025 and run until 22nd June 2027. The services are to be delivered in Scotland, United Kingdom, with the procurement method details unspecified. The award was granted to PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP, marking the completion of this procurement on 19th December 2025.

The awarded contract presents significant opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in software testing services, particularly those capable of delivering extensive platform testing solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this contract less applicable due to its larger scale and scope managed by a large supplier such as PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP. Given the strategic nature of this contract within the public sector, it offers an opportunity for large businesses to consolidate their market position and expand their portfolio of governmental projects.
