Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has completed a procurement process titled "PPE1003160 Direct Award for the Provision of Furniture for Student Residences," within the domestic furniture industry category. This direct award was made under a limited procurement method and did not involve a prior publication of a call for competition. The project, which aims to ensure the consistency of furniture services for student residences, particularly at Maclay Residences, commenced with an internal procurement policy exception. The contracting process culminated in the award being signed on 9th April 2025, with a total contract value of £204,697 GBP. The procurement focus is on goods, with the main pieces delivered within the UKM82 region.

The direct award process, due to technical reasons limiting competition, favours established suppliers with proven reliability in this specific furniture sector. SMEs such as Alpha Marketing UK Ltd, the successful supplier, demonstrate the advantage of niche expertise and efficient service in similar contracts. Hence, businesses ready to meet the quality and price criteria outlined in such specific procurements stand to benefit and grow their operations through partnerships with educational institutions like the University of Glasgow.
