## Summary

Student Loans Company bought infrastructure support and maintenance services: reactive hardware repair for its equipment. The requirement is for a maintenance provider to respond to hardware faults and carry out repairs. The work is delivered in Scotland. Student Loans Company, based in Darlington, is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Park Place Technologies Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 4 August 2025 and runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £27,971.28 excluding VAT (£33,565.53 including VAT). The award is recorded as active; no separate award date is stated.

This award shows demand from Student Loans Company for a provider able to deliver reactive hardware repair and ongoing infrastructure maintenance in Scotland. Suppliers seeking to compete for the same requirement when it returns to market would need credible repair capability, the capacity to respond to hardware faults, and the ability to maintain infrastructure for a central government buyer. The procurement used limited competition and was below threshold, so businesses should be prepared for a competitive process restricted to selected suppliers rather than an open competition. The awarded supplier is a large technology services company, indicating that established delivery capacity was present in the competition.
