## Summary

Student Loans Company Limited procured Forescout 6140 hardware, including delivery, together with hardware support services for its cybersecurity estate. The equipment is intended to replace ageing hardware and support the organisation’s existing Forescout cybersecurity platform. This is a technology and information-systems requirement, covering both IT equipment and associated support services. Delivery is for the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Glasgow, Scotland. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of Forescout infrastructure, cybersecurity platform hardware, technology equipment distribution, and manufacturer-backed or specialist support services. It combines the supply of physical appliances with ongoing technical support rather than a standalone software implementation or general cybersecurity consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 August 2026 to Computacenter (UK) Limited. The awarded contract value is £265,666.56 excluding VAT. It was run as a selective call-off from the Scottish Government Technology Peripherals Framework, SP-21-012, Lot 1: IT Equipment Catalogue. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender description also states that hardware support services commence for 12 months from 1 April 2027. The procurement was categorised as services and used the framework call-off route. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers would need practical capability in Forescout 6140 hardware, supply-chain fulfilment and delivery of replacement appliances into an established cybersecurity estate. Technical support capacity is important, including the ability to provide manufacturer-aligned assistance for the supported hardware over the required service period. Competitors should also be able to work through the relevant Scottish Government Technology Peripherals Framework route, particularly its IT Equipment Catalogue, because that was the purchasing channel used here. The award to a large technology supplier indicates that the requirement favours organisations with established hardware distribution, implementation coordination and support infrastructure. Smaller or community-sector providers are less well aligned with the stated suitability profile.
