## Summary

Student Loans Company Limited procured a 12-month renewal of its SolarWinds suite, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The requirement is treated as a services procurement and supports the organisation’s software and information-system needs. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Glasgow, Scotland. SolarWinds is a network and systems management software suite, so relevant businesses are those supplying, renewing or supporting this type of enterprise technology. The requirement concerns an existing suite renewal rather than a new software implementation or general IT services engagement. The named buyer is Student Loans Company Limited, a UK public sector organisation responsible for student finance administration.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat PLC on 9 June 2025. It was run as a selective call-off from the GCA Technology Products and Associated Services 2 Framework, rather than as an open standalone tender. The award value was £25,005 excluding VAT. The contract period ran from 15 June 2025 to 15 June 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2025 at 5pm. Softcat PLC is the selected supplier and the award status is active. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The evaluation basis was the framework call-off process.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates recurring public sector demand for SolarWinds suite renewals in a national delivery context. A credible competitor for a future requirement with Student Loans Company Limited would need established capability in SolarWinds licensing, renewal management and supply of enterprise software and information-system products. Experience of supporting a public sector customer with continuity of an existing software environment would be relevant. Access to, or eligibility for, the relevant technology products and associated services framework would be important because this purchase used a framework call-off route. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating a need for substantial framework and delivery capacity.
