Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for a Mathematics Application intended for educational use within schools. This tender, identified as WR-199, falls under the category of "Educational software package" and was managed under a limited procurement method. The process was aimed at fulfilling a specific technical need with no suitable alternatives in the market, resulting in a contract award without prior competition. The procurement process, which took place in the UK region UKM91, culminated in a contract signing on 4th August 2025, valuing the project at £205,380.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational software solutions, particularly those capable of meeting unique technical requirements. Due to the absence of competing offerings, companies with niche technical capabilities or similar proprietary solutions can gain a competitive advantage. Small and medium enterprises, such as Radish Education UK LTD—which successfully secured the contract—demonstrate that smaller or specialised firms can thrive in these settings by leveraging their unique products and expertise. This framework highlights the potential for expanding into educational technology markets where bespoke solutions are in demand.
