Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Student Loans Company is buying advisory services focused on information technology. The requirement is classified as IT consulting, software development, internet services and support, so it is relevant to businesses that provide technology advice or related technical delivery. The buying organisation is the Student Loans Company, based at 10 Clyde Place in Glasgow. Delivery is in Scotland, United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and is titled Advisory Services. Suppliers should assess whether their service portfolio covers the broad combination of advisory and IT-related support described, rather than assuming that the requirement is limited to a single software, infrastructure or consultancy specialism.

The procurement reached tender: the Student Loans Company invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 20 August 2026 at 00:00 British Summer Time. The contract period set by the buyer runs from 21 August 2026 to 25 August 2026. Its estimated value is between £1,000,000 and £5,000,000, inclusive of the stated minimum and maximum values. The opportunity is presented as a single advisory-services requirement rather than a procurement divided into lots. The published suitability assessment does not identify the requirement as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation is on the basis set out in the procurement documents.

This opportunity suits established technology consultancies and IT service providers able to deliver advisory work alongside software development, internet services or technical support. It is a broad requirement, which may favour suppliers with several complementary capabilities rather than firms focused on one narrow technology service. The buyer’s suitability assessment is not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so larger organisations with the resources to manage a substantial public-sector engagement are better placed to compete. Businesses should consider whether they can provide credible advice, technical expertise and delivery support across Scotland, and whether their organisation is equipped to respond to a requirement spanning multiple IT service areas.
