Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen has awarded a contract for the specialised glazing installation at the Sir Duncan Rice Library, addressing the need for replacement double glazed units due to historical breakages. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as "Glass" (CPV ID: 14820000). The contract was signed on 3rd December 2021 and was awarded without prior competition, justified by technical reasons. The location for this contract is within the Aberdeen region, UKM50, and the procurement process was limited, allowing only one supplier, Euro Clad Project Services Ltd, with the requisite expertise to fulfil the contract's specific requirements.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for growth for businesses specialising in glazing and window installation, as it highlights the need for compatible design and expert installation methods. Companies with specific knowledge in structural glazing, particularly those trained by the original installer, Euro Clad Project Services, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for future contracts of this nature. Such procurement processes often require providers who can ensure warranties and design integrity, thereby presenting a niche market for specialised suppliers in the construction and installation industry.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Under Regulation 33 (1)(b)(ii) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may award a contract without competition based on the following justification: Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists). In this particular case, the requirement is for provision and installation of replacement windows. Compatibility with existing windows, design and installation are essential to maintain existing warranties and to ensure continuity. The windows are of unique design and differing technical characteristics. Therefore, replacements must be provided and installed by trained and approved applicators of the structural glazing facade. Euro Clad Project Services Ltd is the original installer of the glazing and the only supplier with the required knowledge and expertise.
