Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for "LLE Technical Assurance" involves the Student Loans Company (SLC) as the buyer. This process falls under the 'services' category, specifically targeting IT services such as consulting, software development, and support. The aim was to secure technical assurance for Salesforce environments supporting the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). Based in Glasgow, UK, this procurement was executed through a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, leveraging the G-Cloud 14 framework. It has now reached the award stage, and the contract was signed on 19 March 2025, with an active status as of 2 May 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth potential, particularly for companies specialising in IT services and technical assurance. Large enterprises like Softcat Plc, the winning supplier, are well-suited to compete in such processes due to the nature of the services requested and the procurement method used. The tender is indicative of the need for specialised IT services within public organisations, providing a lucrative opportunity for businesses that can deliver robust technology solutions and have established themselves as reliable service providers in similar frameworks.
