## Summary

The Student Loans Company procured advisory services for its organisation and operations, with the work delivered in Scotland. The requirement falls within IT services, covering consulting, software development, internet and support services. In practical terms, this is a technology-focused advisory engagement rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The buying organisation is based at Clyde Place in Glasgow, and Glasgow is the named location associated with the procurement. The scope is described as “Advisory Services”, so businesses should assess their fit against the wider IT consulting and support category rather than a narrowly defined software product or single technical installation. The procurement therefore concerns professional advice and related technology expertise supporting the Student Loans Company in Scotland.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure and is complete. The award was made to Gartner Advisory Services on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £1,745,100, and the contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026. The procurement was for services and was assessed through the open procedure. The selected supplier is Gartner Advisory Services. The published outcome records one award covering the advisory services requirement, with the award value matching the overall estimated tender value. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expected a larger commercial provider for this requirement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand from the Student Loans Company for substantial, technology-focused advisory support in Scotland. The relevant market is IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, delivered through an open procurement route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability across technology advisory work and the ability to support a public-sector organisation through a substantial, multi-year service engagement. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates a need for considerable organisational capacity, established delivery resources and the ability to manage a broad advisory service. Firms should therefore position proven IT consulting expertise, delivery scale and public-sector-relevant governance as core strengths.
