Summary of the contracting process

The Student Loans Company procured systems integrator services for its Lifelong Learning Entitlement programme. The requirement covers software implementation and a systems integrator to lead and manage programme delivery and associated software requirements. The work is aligned with policy specifications, regulations, business need dates and the LLE Solution Design, including preparation of a Solution Plan. The buyer is the Student Loans Company, based in Glasgow, and delivery is associated with Scotland. The requirement is a public-sector digital transformation and programme delivery service rather than a standalone software product or routine IT support contract. It would suit organisations able to combine systems integration, software implementation and management of a complex education funding programme.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP on 16 April 2024 for £18,142,655. The contract period runs from 17 April 2024 to 30 September 2026. The original tender deadline was 20 February 2024. The procurement is for services, with software implementation as the stated classification. An addendum records a further contract change valued at £99,950 for a four-week Solution Plan engagement beginning 23 June 2025; the source gives its stated end date as 21 June 2025. The award is active. The recorded contract value and the additional change value are separate and should not be treated as a combined award figure.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award indicates that the Student Loans Company requires substantial systems integration and programme leadership capacity for the Lifelong Learning Entitlement. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate delivery of complex public-sector digital programmes, integration of associated software and production of practical solution designs or plans. They would also need to translate policy and regulatory specifications into managed delivery against business milestones, working with a defined target architecture or solution design. The scale and complexity of the awarded service favour established organisations with strong programme governance, systems implementation capability and experience coordinating multiple business and technology requirements. The published suitability assessment does not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
