Department	Organisation Name	Property name	Basis for expenditure approval	Total Value Approved (£M)	Date of approval
BIS	Student Loans Company	GPU-LM- 2461 / SLC - The Studio, Lingfield Point, Darlington, DL1 1RW	SLC is a key delivery partner on student finance with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and is responsible for the processing and payment of applications for student finance from students in England. SLC currently has four sites from which it operates various functions supporting not only BIS but also the devolved administrations, Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS), Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and Department for Employment and Learning (DELNI). In each of the other accommodations, SLC are already below the standard of 8 sq m per FTE and in some areas are as low as 6 sq m per FTE therefore there is no ability to move staff to any of the other existing locations.	£0.54	30/04/2014
BIS	Student Loans Company	GPU-LM-2467 / SLC - 11 Carnegie Rd Hillington Park, Glasgow	BIS have now approved a Business Case on the topic of remaining in our existing facilities where the main points included in the Business Case were: to extend the contract with Verizon for the Washington Street Data Centre for 12 months, with the option of a further year on year renewal, from December 2014 to December 2016/December 2017; and to extend the lease of the Hillington site from August 2014 to December 2017. In addition to SLC's business requirement that the Comms room remains in Hillington, there is also an additional benefit in terms of space which, following the outsourcing of SLC's printing and mailing function, will enable Core Processing and Pre-Assessment work to be carried out in Hillington as opposed to Darlington, thus saving paying shift premiums in Darlington where space is in demand. This is expected to save in the region of ?200k per annum in shift premiums once this is fully utilised as additional office space.	£0.53	02/05/2014
