## Summary

The Student Loans Company Limited has completed the award stage for its "SLC Culture Programme", aiming to foster employee engagement, enhance collaboration, and align colleagues with the company's values and strategic goals. The procurement process, classified under CPV code 79000000 for business services, covers a range of services including legal, accounting, market research, and consultancy. The project is centred in Scotland and involves a contract value of GBP 40,100. The contract was awarded on 18th October 2024 and runs from 22nd October 2024 to 31st March 2025. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation, targeting Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in business consultancy, organisational development, and behavioural science. By participating, businesses can gain valuable experience in transformation projects, building a toolkit for client self-sufficiency and contributing to long-term strategic goals. The collaborative nature of this initiative makes it particularly appealing to consulting firms with a keen interest in corporate culture and employee engagement. Such opportunities can lead to further engagements and prestige within the industry, aiding overall business growth.

## Notice

SLC is undertaking a piece of work around culture in the organisation, this is both to understand the current position and to understand how we can start to move that. This will help us to foster employee engagement, enhance collaboration and align our colleagues with SLC values and strategic goals, ultimately driving productivity and long-term success. We are in the process completing stage 1 of this work and will have a view on what our current and desired culture is. We then wish to move this on to defining the necessary changes and how to embed them. SLC require subject matter experts (SME) to support this piece of work and help in defining the changes required and planning the embedding activity. With reference to appropriate behavioural science models help SLC to define the specific behavioural changes that would enable the desired future culture. There is an expectation that the programme develops an appropriate toolkit for SLC to be able to continue the embedding work without the need for external support, including any appropriate steps the SME would advise the organisation to implement to best achieve success.
