UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company bought a renewal of Progress MOVEit, a secure managed file transfer service for safe, compliant data exchange. The requirement covers the software renewal and associated software and IT services. The buyer is Student Loans Company, the central government body responsible for student finance. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service lots, and the stated purpose is to maintain secure, compliant transfers of data.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Softcat plc. The award was made on 9 January 2026, and the contract was signed on 10 February 2026. The contract runs from 24 February 2026 to 23 February 2028, for a 24-month term. Its value is £35,714.24 excluding VAT, or £42,857.09 including VAT. Student Loans Company used below-threshold limited competition. Three bids were received, with three bids recorded at the final stage. The process covered one lot. The published award information identifies the requirement as a renewal of the MOVEit software; no evaluation criteria are recorded in the process data.

This award shows demand from Student Loans Company for a continuing, secure managed file transfer capability supporting safe and compliant data exchange. A credible competitor for a future renewal would need to supply and support Progress MOVEit or a suitable managed file transfer solution, with the security and compliance features needed for sensitive data exchange. The scale is a focused, single-software renewal rather than a multi-lot transformation programme. The buyer used limited competition and received three bids, so suppliers should be able to compete through an established route and demonstrate a clear fit to the existing platform and operational requirement. Softcat plc was selected, providing a benchmark for the type of supplier that can deliver the renewal.
