## Summary

Student Loans Company Limited procured the renewal of its Hootsuite Enterprise Social Media Relationship Platform licence. This is a software and information systems service supporting the organisation’s social media relationship management activities. The requirement is classified under CPV 48000000 and falls within the services category. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, for use by Student Loans Company Limited, whose address is in Glasgow, Scotland. The procurement concerns an enterprise platform licence rather than software development, hardware supply or general communications consultancy. Suppliers with experience providing Hootsuite Enterprise or comparable social media management platforms, together with the capability to support a public-sector customer across the UK, would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Student Loans Company Limited used a selective call-off from the GCA G-Cloud 14 Framework. The tender submission deadline was 16 April 2025 at 5:00pm, and the award was made on 16 April 2025. Hoosuite Inc. was awarded the contract for £62,700 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 17 April 2025 to 16 April 2027, giving a 24-month term. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The recorded award is active, while the overall tender status is complete.

This award provides clear evidence that Student Loans Company Limited purchases enterprise social media relationship management software through a public-sector framework route. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer should be able to provide Hootsuite Enterprise or a comparable platform, maintain business-critical licence access and support the service throughout a multi-year term. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience delivering enterprise social media software services, managing renewals and supporting organisational users in a regulated or public-sector environment. Suppliers should also understand call-off procedures under the GCA G-Cloud Framework and be able to operate across the United Kingdom. The requirement was assessed as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that organisations of those types can be relevant where they have the necessary platform capability and delivery capacity.
