## Summary

Student Loans Company procured application management services for its Workday system, under the requirement titled Workday AMS Support & SMART Tooling. The work is IT support and application management, rather than the purchase of a new software platform. The buying organisation is Student Loans Company. The procurement lists a delivery area in Scotland; it does not identify a specific town or site. The scope is described as support for the Workday system within SLC, so the opportunity is relevant to providers with experience maintaining and supporting Workday in an organisational environment. The associated lot description refers to a monetary figure rather than explaining the service tasks, so the stated scope is limited to Workday application management and the title’s reference to SMART tooling.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Kainos Worksmart Limited. Student Loans Company used a limited procedure described as an award without prior publication of a competition call. One bid was recorded for the lot, and price was the stated award criterion. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026. Its value is £865,284. The tender data marks the sole lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the available outcome information therefore identifies Kainos Worksmart Limited as the selected supplier but also records a cancelled lot. No contract start or end date is provided, so the contract period cannot be established from the stated dates. The procurement record gives no further description of eligibility or technical selection requirements.

This award demonstrates Student Loans Company’s demand for ongoing application management of its Workday system, with SMART tooling included in the requirement title. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the capability to support and maintain Workday in a live organisational setting, alongside tooling relevant to the buyer’s stated requirement. The selected supplier, Kainos Worksmart Limited, is recorded as a large business, and one bid was received; this is evidence of an award made through a limited, non-advertised route, rather than a broadly competed tender. The service scope is specific to Student Loans Company’s Workday environment, so relevant experience would need to translate to the support needs of that system and buyer, not merely general IT services. The available requirement details do not establish particular accreditations or staffing thresholds.
