## Summary

The Student Loans Company intends to procure a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement covering Microsoft licence subscriptions, cloud enrolment and Microsoft Unified Support. This is an IT services requirement involving software licensing, cloud services and technical support. The buying organisation is the Student Loans Company, a central government body. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The scope combines access to Microsoft products through subscriptions with cloud enrolment and support services under an enterprise agreement, so it is relevant to suppliers working with Microsoft licensing and cloud arrangements, as well as those able to provide or manage Microsoft support.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Student Loans Company has set out its intention to buy, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned contract is a single lot, with an estimated value of £14 million excluding VAT (£16.8 million including VAT). The anticipated contract period runs from 1 June 2028 to 31 May 2031. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 20 January 2028; this is an indicative date, not a deadline for suppliers to respond. The planned procurement is for services. No procedure or evaluation approach is set out at this stage.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers with established experience in Microsoft enterprise licensing, subscription management, cloud enrolment and Microsoft Unified Support. Suppliers able to bring these services together for a central government customer are likely to be well placed to prepare, including businesses with the capacity to manage a substantial, multi-year agreement. The single-lot structure indicates that the buyer is planning one combined requirement rather than separate competitions for licensing, cloud enrolment and support. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable for the requirement, so SMEs with the necessary Microsoft expertise and delivery capacity may also find it relevant. The stated scope gives prospective suppliers a basis for assessing whether their Microsoft partnerships, service capability and support arrangements fit the buyer’s intended purchase.
