Summary of the contracting process

The UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE has successfully completed a procurement process to acquire a Virtual Instrumentation Suite, valued at £39,874, intended for use in engineering laboratory courses. This procurement falls under the category of teaching equipment (CPV: 39162100) and took place in Cheltenham, South West England. The procurement method employed was a direct tender via a single tender action due to it being below threshold, with the tender period concluding on 3rd May 2019 and the contract period spanning from 13th May 2019 to 31st August 2019.

This contract represents an opportunity for growth particularly for businesses specialised in educational technology and laboratory equipment. Suppliers with experience in providing innovative teaching tools or virtual instrumentation solutions could leverage this award to establish long-term relationships with educational institutions. Given that a large supplier, National Instruments Corp UK Ltd, was awarded the contract, similar-sized suppliers with robust offerings in teaching equipment may find pathways to collaborate or participate in future tenders from the UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
