Summary of the contracting process

In April 2026, Abertay University finalised a procurement process titled "The Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Radio Technology (RT) Roller Blinds" with the awarding of the contract to Rainbow Blinds & Fabrics Limited. This procurement, which falls within the goods industry category and specifically involves blinds (CPV code 39515400), is part of the University's wider initiative to enhance environmental control and energy efficiency within its Library Building. The contract was conducted through an open procedure under the legal basis of European Union directives. Located in Dundee, this process commenced with an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage originally announced in January 2026, with submissions closing on 25 February 2026, and resulted in a contract valued at approximately GBP 47,512.80, signed on 26 March 2026.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the blinds and home technology sector, especially those offering innovative solutions in environmental systems and energy efficiency. Companies with expertise in Radio Technology roller blinds and maintenance are well-suited to such tenders. The focus on quality (60%) over price (40%) suggests that businesses that can deliver high standards in product and service quality might have a competitive edge. This opportunity can be particularly appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their footprint and relationship with educational institutions by aligning with the sustainability standards required by Abertay University.
